Youth World Outdoor Ball Hockey Championships · August 14–16, 2026

Ballhockey.com’s longest-standing event now has a youth version! After years of crowning champions at the adult level, the World Outdoor Ball Hockey Championships is officially expanding — and the next generation gets its own stage.

We’re proud to announce the Youth World Outdoor Ball Hockey Championships, a three-day event taking place August 14–16, 2026.

The tradition that played its part in growing the outdoor game is now opening its doors to the players carrying it forward. Teams will compete for the inaugural youth title — and the bragging rights that come with being the first names etched into a brand-new chapter of the sport’s history.

This isn’t just another tournament on the calendar. It’s a statement. Ball hockey is growing globally, the youth game is leading that growth, and the sport is finding new energy. 

Three Days. One Champion.
