The 2022–23 Women's FIH Pro League was the fourth edition of the Women's FIH Pro League, a field hockey championship for women's national teams. The tournament began in November 2022 and finished in July 2023.[1]
The Netherlands won their third title.[2]
Format
[edit]The home and away principle was kept, however the season was divided into date blocks. To assist with competition planning, international and national, several teams gathered in one venue to contest “mini-tournaments," wherein they each played two matches against one another.[1]
If one of the two matches played between two teams was cancelled, the winner of the other match received double points.
Teams
[edit]Following their withdrawal in the 2021–22 season due to COVID-19 related travel requirements, the national teams of Australia and New Zealand will rejoin for the new season.[3][4]
