Pots

The participating teams were seeded into Pots A to D according to their achievements in their national leagues and their respective league’s standing in the CHL league ranking. The reigning CHL champions ZSC Lions were the top seeded team and therefore given a place in pot A. The top pot also contained the reigning champions of four of the top five founding leagues according to the league rankings (Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic and Finland), as well as the 2024–25 NL regular season winners Lausanne HC. Pot D contained 2024–25 ICE Hockey League regular season third-placed HC Bolzano and champions of five challenger leagues.^[9]

Regular season tie-breaking criteria

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win in regulation time, 2 points for a win in overtime, 1 point for a loss in overtime, 0 points for a loss in regulation time). If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria was applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (see 8.4.4. Tie breaking formula group stage standings):^[10]

1. Greater number of wins in regulation time (3 point wins);
2. Greater number of wins in total (regulation time wins + overtime and shootout wins);
3. Better goal difference;
4. More goals scored;
5. Greater number of points in away games;
6. More away goals scored;
7. The higher position in the CHL Draw pot allocation.

Results

Format

In the playoffs, pairings are formed based on the positions of the teams in the regular season as follows: the team finished 1st in the regular season will face the team finished 16th, the team finished 2nd will face the team finished 15th, and so on. There was no play-off draw and won't be any reseedings for the quarter-finals and semi-finals. In each round except the final, the teams will play two games and the aggregate score will decide which team advances. The first leg was hosted by the team with the lower seed with the second leg being played on the home ice of the other team. If aggregate score is tied, a sudden death overtime follows. If the overtime is scoreless, the team who wins the shoot out competition advances.

The final will be played on the home ice of the team with the higher accumulative ranking across the entire campaign, including play-off games.
