The competition commenced on 10 October and will culminate with the finals weekend on 29–30 November at the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Melbourne.[1][2][3]

Format

The 2025 Hockey One season followed the same format as the previous seasons of the league. Teams will play a series of home and away matches during the Pool Stage, which will be followed by a Classification Round.

  • 5 points: win
  • 3 points: shoot-out win
  • 2 points: shoot-out loss
  • 0 points: loss
