Action will begin in Australia, with Sydney taking centre stage from 4-9 February.
The Kookaburras who won the title in the previous edition will start off their defence against reigning Olympic champions Netherlands, and Spain. The Hockeyroos will also start their 2024/25 campaign simultaneously, facing off against China and Spain. Both the Spanish teams will play their first matches of the season in the Sydney stage of the Pro League, with the women's team making their first appearance since 2020, having qualified for the current season by winning the FIH Nations Cup in 2024. China women will look to continue their strong start to the season after taking 8 points from the opening 4 games of their season, played at home in Hangzhou. Netherlands men meanwhile will be hoping to return to their best, after an uncharacteristic start slow saw them pick up no wins in their opening 4 games, totalling 6 points through 3 draws and a loss.
