A busy few weeks in hockey leagues around Europe have given us nine quick-fire qualifiers for the 2026/27 season of the Champions Hockey League! We can't cover them all today, so let's take a closer look at some of the teams that joined our line-up since we last updated you. You'll find out more about the rest very soon!
Head here for a full breakdown of qualified teams!
GKS Tychy
It's back-to-back CHL seasons for GKS Tychy! The Polish champions defended their title at home and will once again battle Europe's very best clubs in the Champions Hockey League. With three past seasons of pan-European experience now under their belt, the strong and physical Poles will look to show everybody that they have what it takes. Don't underestimate them!
Genève-Servette
Past CHL Champions Genève-Servette are back for 2026/27! The club that became the very first Swiss team to lift the European Trophy following a memorable season and Final in Switzerland in 2023/24 will once again battle it out with Europe's top contenders. A third-placed finish in the regular season secured them their place in the 2026/27 line-up, but they did end up making the National League playoff semi-finals this season.
Rögle Ängelholm
Who can forget the fairytale CHL season Rögle Ängelholm had back in 2021/22? The Swedes, in their first-ever season among Europe's elite, went all the way and lifted the European Trophy! Their win built on a long line of Swedish excellence in our competition, but added a new name to the mix, as the club won their first-ever piece of major silverware. Now they are back and ready to take everybody on.
Storhamar Hamar
Storhamar Hamar are at the top of their game! Building on a great season in the Champions Hockey League, which saw Storhamar take three wins and make the Round of 16, they went all the way once again at home and won their third Norwegian championship in a row to make it into Europe's line-up of the 24 best teams. Continously getting better and better, we can't wait to see what Storhamar bring to the table come the new season.
