The 2023–24 Men's FIH Pro League was the fifth edition of the Men's FIH Pro League, a field hockey championship for men's national teams. The tournament began on 6 December 2023 and finished on 30 June 2024.[1]
Australia won the tournament for the second time.
Teams
Following the announcement of South Africa's withdrawal for this season after failing to secure a sponsor,[2] Ireland joined despite finishing second in the 2022 Men's FIH Hockey Nations Cup.[3]
Format
The home and away principle was kept for the season, which was divided into date blocks. To assist with competition planning, international and national, several teams gathered in one venue to contest “mini-tournaments," wherein they each played two matches against one another.[1]
If one of the two matches played between two teams was cancelled, the winner of the other match received double points.
This season winner earned direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
