General FIH Pro League FAQs
-
The FIH Hockey Pro League is the annual global League involving the best men's and women's national teams in the world. The team that finishes top of the league at the end of the season is crowned champion and receives the FIH Hockey Pro League Trophy.
Each team will play against each opponent in the league twice in each season, playing 16 games in total. However, instead of playing one game home and away, the hosts are rotated on a bi-annual basis. So, for example, if England/Great Britain were playing The Netherlands, they would play two games against them at home in one season and two games away the following year.
It’s action-packed, international rivalries are at their fiercest and the season promises to be an exciting forerunner to the 2022 Commonwealth Games and World Cups. In short, it’s hockey at its best.
