The Netherlands won the first FIH Pro League for women, defeating Australia in a penalty shootout in the final. After beating Belgium 3-2 in the final, Australia won the first men’s FIH Pro League.
Starting in the 2020-21 season, the FIH Pro League will be played in a round-robin style, in which each team plays the other twice – at home and away – and the team that scores after 16 league matches is crowned champion.
Because a lot of matches were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020-21 season, the victor was determined using a points percentage system.
A team receives three points for winning and one point for a tie in the FIH Pro League. Any match that ends in a tie is sent to a penalty shoot-out, with the penalty shoot-out winners receiving a bonus point.
The points percentage of a team was derived by dividing its total points by the total points available.
Belgium won the FIH Pro League for men in 2020-21, with a points percentage of 76.19. (having won 32 of the 42 points in the 14 matches they played).
In 2020-21, the Netherlands won their second FIH Pro League title, winning 88.9% of their points total (they won 32 points out of 36 in their 12 matches).
In the 2020-21 season, the Indian men’s hockey team has made its FIH Pro League debut, placing fourth with a points percentage of 62.5. They came in third place in the FIH Pro League 2021-22.
