Launched in 2013, the Elite Club Challenge has grown into South Africa's premier elite club hockey tournament, nationally recognised, multi-division, and unmissable! The 2026 edition, Road to the World Cup, brings together 24 of the country's leading men's and women's club teams at Riverside Hockey Club, Durban North. Broadcast live on DStv Channel 216 and SuperSport Schools, just weeks before the Hockey World Cup spotlight turns on South African hockey.
This is no ordinary weekend. As the Springboks face Wales, ECC 2026 amplifies Durban's biggest sporting moment giving fans, families, and the hockey community even more reason to be here.
Following a thrilling 2025 edition, Central Hockey Club completing a historic three-peat, WPCC lifting the women's title, the stage is set for new challengers, fierce rivalries, and performances that matter.
South Africa's best. One stage. One unforgettable weekend.
