If you love field hockey or just want to know what India’s teams are up to, you’re in the right spot. Below you’ll find a quick rundown of the biggest games, rising stars and where to watch the action live.
The men’s national squad is gearing up for the Asian Games qualifiers next month. Coach Graham Reid has shuffled the line‑up, giving youngsters like Jaspreet Singh a chance to start alongside veteran Sarbjit Singh on defense. Their last friendly against Malaysia ended in a 3‑2 win, with Singh scoring the decisive goal in the final minutes.
On the women’s side, the senior team just wrapped up a three‑match series in Singapore. The series was a confidence booster – India won two out of three and showed solid chemistry between midfielders Rani Rampal and Deepika Thakur. Fans are already buzzing about a possible new captaincy move, but for now the focus stays on the upcoming FIH Pro League.
At the domestic level, the Hockey India League (HIL) announced its 2025 schedule. Matches will kick off in early March across six cities, with a new franchise added in Pune. Expect big names like Mandeep Singh and Neha Goyal to light up the field, plus a handful of overseas stars looking to test themselves against Indian talent.
