The nations at the top of the tables at the end of the season, having battled it out against all eight teams, will be crowned champions and receive the coveted FIH Pro League Trophy. The league takes place from January to June 2020, with next a change in the structuring of fixtures with teams playing each other home and away in alternate years. All matches are being shown on BT Sport.
