The national championship is scheduled to be held at the Coimbatore Corporation Hockey Ground, Tamil Nadu, from July 28 to August 8, 2026.
The trials will begin at 10 am, while the training camp for selected players will be held from July 7 to July 24 at the KK Hakku Astroturf Hockey Stadium.
Eligible players have been asked to report for the trials with all required documents. District units of Hockey J&K have been directed to ensure that participating players carry proper documentation. Physical fitness and skill assessments will form part of the selection process.
