The highly anticipated 2025 Indoor Hockey UK Championships have officially been announced, with top clubs and elite players from across the United Kingdom set to converge at the David Ross Sports Village in Nottingham from 27 to 30 December.

Four action-packed days. The best indoor hockey teams in the UK. One incredible venue. It’s going to be fast, fierce, and full of festive energy as the top clubs from across the country battle it out for indoor glory.

Back at David Ross — And Bigger Than Ever!

If you’ve ever seen a match at Nottingham’s David Ross Sports Village, you know you’re in for a treat. With its world-class courts, roaring crowd, and electric vibes, it’s the perfect spot to end the year with a bang.



“The David Ross Sports Village offers the perfect stage for indoor hockey at the highest level,” said William Davey, Operations Director at Indoor Hockey UK. “After a fantastic reception in 2024, we’re excited to bring the Championships back to Nottingham and anticipate a fantastic display of elite performance.”

Clubs Going for Gold

The 2025 Championships will take place from Saturday 27 December until Tuesday 30 December 2025. As the Under 10's didn't prove popular last year, we have decided to not include them this year, but we will still have 10 age groups participating, with Under 12's, Under 14's, Under 16's, Under 18's and Adults all taking place, with an equal male and female split.

All age groups will follow the England Hockey Club age brackets (from 1 September) and will take place on the following days:

Saturday 27 December 2025

Under 14 Girls  Session 1 PM | 14:00 - 20:00*

Sunday 28 December 2025

Under 12 Boys & Girls  Session 1 AM | 09:00 - 17:00*

Men's & Women's  Session 2 PM | 17:00 - 22:00*

Monday 29 December 2025

Under 16 Boys & Girls  Session 1 AM | 09:00 - 17:00*

Under 18 Girls  Session 2 PM | 17:00 - 21:30*

Tuesday 30 December 2025

Under 14 Boys  Session 1 AM | 09:00 - 15:00*

Under 18 Boys Session 2 PM | 15:00 - 20:00*

*All times are approximate and subject to change. More precise timings will be released approximately 1 month before the event starts.

The warm up slot will be published before the event, and all teams should attend as this is the only time available for teams to warm up on the pitch.

A team managers briefing will take place 60 minutes before the games start for each age group and the team manager or coach, must attend. The match schedules for each age group will be available via the event hub. All timings are subject to change depending on the number of entries received but we will always look to try and fit the competitions within the published times above.

New Format & Competition Structure

This year all age groups will play 2 x 10 minute halves with a 1 minute half time - that's right, including the Under 12's and Under 14's! That means teams will get more pitch time. Teams will be split into groups to start, and then go into playoffs and classification matches, brining the thrill and excitement of knock out events in the latter stages of the competition.

Entry Fees

This years entry fees will be set at £260 per team. This is a slight increase on previous years, but takes into account an increase in pitch time. We will also continue to offer free spectator entry for this event, so we hope this works out to be the cheapest way for everyone attending. You will be able to enter this year's event from 19:00 on Monday 8 September via enter.indoorhockey.uk!

Officials & Volunteers

As always, we will be on the lookout out for a brilliant team of umpires, match officials and other workforce members. Those already registered will be able to enter their availability, and any new members will be able to sign up via My Hockey UK at the same time. Keep your eyes on our website and social media channels for more information throughout October on how to get involved!

Spectator Tickets

Due to the number of people that will be in attendance at the event and to ensure appropriate provisions are made for security and first aid, spectators will be required to get a ticket to enter the event. Tickets will be FREE for everyone attending. Spectator tickets will be released towards the end of October 2025 and available from our website via tickets.indoorhockey.uk
