2026-27 Leagues Tables
The long-awaited proposed South East divisions for the 2026–27 season are here!
Charlotte Hope, Chair of Adult Competitions, has apologised for the short delay, explaining that several critical games had to be completed over the weekend before the final structure could be confirmed.
“This year’s team movements have been particularly challenging,” she said. “We’ve had teams coming down from EH leagues, multiple same-club sides within the same division, withdrawals from the start of the 2025–26 season, and even a few teams moving across the London border. We also recognise that clubs may still withdraw or add teams, so there could be some further adjustments ahead.”
To help streamline league planning for next season, all clubs are now being asked to confirm every adult team entry for 2026–27 using the online form. This has been sent to all Club Admin contact on GMS. It is also below;

Clubs should also indicate any “development” team designations and provide an email address for each club’s Men’s and Women’s section liaison officer within the form.
These details will allow the Area League Management Committee (ALMC) to begin finalising division placements and generating fixtures. There are specific questions in the form (numbers 13 and 20) for clubs to note special fixture requests or scheduling considerations.
Charlotte also acknowledged the dedication of DivReps who support clubs throughout the season:
“Their work is vital to keeping the leagues running smoothly. Last season, a number of team withdrawals created substantial extra workload and tough decisions had to be made earlier than usual. We’d encourage clubs to consider whether someone within their ranks could help share that load — or even join the ALMC to gain insight into how competitions are managed.”
Anyone interested in getting involved or learning more about the ALMC’s operations is invited to get in touch directly with an expression of interest through the usual South East Hockey channels, by emailing operations@southeast.hockey
