The very first leg of the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL)will be kept in Chennai in the very first week of January 2026 (either on the 3rd or 4th), followed by the 2nd leg in Ranchi. The last will be used February 1 in Bhubaneswar.
The Women’s HIL is most likely to start in the 2nd week of January with the league matches in Bhubaneswar. The last is slated in Ranchi on January 30.
The guys’s HIL will have an IPL-like play-off with Qualifier and Eliminator.
A mini-auction for males is most likely to be hung on Sept. 23 and 24 and it is dependably found out that all the franchises are anticipated to maintain a bulk of their gamers.
The last time a hockey league was kept in Chennai was way back in 2012 when the then IHF and Nimbus performed World Series Hockey.
