The FIH Hockey Pro League is an annual competition between the best national hockey teams in the world. Nine women's teams and nine men's teams participate in the competition. The team that has accumulated the most points at the end of the season is crowned champion and receives the FIH Hockey Pro League Trophy. The team that finishes last is relegated and replaced by the winner of the FIH Hockey Nations Cup.
