Manx Hockey Association’s 2026 men’s and women's league season will get underway this weekend with a full programme of fixtures across the island on Saturday.

All six of the senior divisions will be in action, as well as the Under-15s League.

Reigning Men’s Premiership champions Bacchas A begin the defence of their title with a game against Castletown A at King William’s College, while last year’s runners-up Vikings A take on the clubmates in the B team in an early-season derby at the National Sports Centre.

The other game in the men’s top flight sees Valkyrs A and Harlequins A go head-to-head in the west of the island at QEII.

In the Women’s Premiership, last year’s champions get their trophy defence underway with a match against Bacchas A at King William’s College.

Having finished as runners-up in 2025, Valkyrs A will be aiming to get off to a good start in the new campaign with a match against Harlequins A in Peel, while the other game in this division sees Vikings A entertain Castletown B at the NSC.

In Men’s Division One, newly-promoted Valkyrs C begin life in the second tier with an interclub derby against their clubmates in the B side at QEII, the latter team having been relegated from the top flight.

Elsewhere in this league, Bacchas B take on Harlequins B at Castle Rushen High School, while Ramsey A take on Castletown B at Ramsey Grammar School.

Newly-promoted Bacchas C begin life in Women’s Division One with a match against relegated Ramsey A at the NSC, while Bacchas B take on Vikings B in the early pushback in the capital.

The other game in this league sees Valkyrs B go up against Castletown C in the south of the island at Castle Rushen High School.
