The 2022–23 Men's FIH Pro League was the fourth edition of the Men's FIH Pro League, a field hockey championship for men's national teams. The tournament began on 28 October 2022 and finished on 5 July 2023.[1]

The Netherlands won their second title.[2]

Format

The FIH changed the format for this season as there were no home and away matches and the season was divided into date blocks. To reduce financial and logistical issues, a set of three teams gathered at one venue and a "mini tournament" was contested where each team played two matches against one another.[1][3] The changed format also reduced the issue of travel time and minimised the burden on players.

Point system and rankings

The winning team got three points. In case of a draw, both teams were given one point, with the winner of the shootout earning an extra point.[3] The team finishing last was relegated to the Nations Cup.

Teams

Following their withdrawal in the 2021–22 season due to COVID-19 related travel requirements, the national teams of Australia and New Zealand rejoined for this season.[4][5]
