The Indian men’s and women’s hockey teams will compete in the FIH Pro League 2026-27, with both sides set to play 16 matches each across home and away legs.
While the Indian men will begin their campaign at home in February, the women, returning to the top division after a one-season absence, will start their campaign in Argentina.
The FIH Pro League season officially starts on December 8, 2026, and ends on June 27, 2027.
A total of 144 matches will be contested across men’s and women’s competitions with each tournament comprising nine teams each.
India’s men will have the luxury of playing their first eight games on home soil between February 13 and 28, with the venues yet to be finalised.
Harmanpreet Singh and Co. will face Germany, Argentina, Great Britain and Spain twice in the home leg before ending their season in Europe with four matches in Germany, two in the Netherlands and as many in Belgium.
India’s women, meanwhile, are back in the Hockey Pro League. They were demoted from the competition after the 2024-25 season after finishing last but booked an immediate return to the top division by winning the FIH Nations Cup last season.
Salima Tete’s girls have a less favourable fixture list than the men, beginning their campaigns with double rubbers against 2026 Hockey World Cup winners Argentina and Germany in South America before hosting Great Britain and Spain at home.
