The SV Wiler-Ersigen (abbreviated SVWE) is a Swiss floorball club founded in 1984. It is based in Zuchwil, about 40 km north of Bern. The club is named after two nearby municipalities Wiler bei Utzenstorf and Ersigen, or rather their teams, which merged in 1989.[1]

The men's team plays in Swiss highest floorball league, the Unihockey Prime League. It first entered the top competition, at the time the National League A, in 1988 as SV Wiler.[1] Eight years later, in 1996, it was relegated to the second league for one season.[2] Since then, the team has played the top competition continuously.

In 2004, Wiler won its first title. A season later they won not only the league again but also the Swiss Cup. In addition, in the same year, the team became the first Swiss and only the second non-Swedish team to win the European Cup (today's Champions Cup).[3] In the following years, Wiler won the league eleven more times, the last time in the 2022–23 season. With a total of 13 titles, it is the most successful team in the top Swiss competition.[4]
