Qualification for the 2026/27 Euro Hockey League has taken further shape in the wake of this Easter’s ABN AMRO EHL Men and the EuroHockey Club Trophy I in Vienna.
The full Ranking Table will be finalised following the conclusion of Trophy II in May but a majority of items are already known.
The Netherlands remains in first place on the list with Belgium and England retaining second and third spot respectively. They keep the three EHL tickets that come with those positions.
Germany, Spain and France remain in fourth, fifth and sixth place respectively on the Ranking Table, meaning they will have two tickets to next season’s EHL.
Ireland, Scotland, Austria and Czechia are all confirmed to have one side in the top tier next season.
The remaining nation will be confirmed following Whitsun when the EuroHockey Club Trophy II will be played in Rome with Switzerland, Italy and Portugal mathematically in contention.
