India’s Double-header Against Pakistan Headlines London Leg Of FIH Men’s Pro League 2025–26
Lee Vally International Hockey Stadium: The Indian men’s hockey team is set for a high-intensity London leg of the FIH Men’s Pro League 2025–26, scheduled to be played from June 23 to 28, headlined by two matches against arch-rivals Pakistan. India will take on Pakistan and host England twice each in a crucial set of fixtures following a strong showing in the Rotterdam leg of the tournament.
The India-Pakistan encounters are understandably the most anticipated fixtures of the leg, reigniting one of hockey’s most storied rivalries on the international stage. Both matches are expected to draw significant attention as the two Asian rivals meet for the first time in nearly two years.
This will be the first meeting between the two sides since the 2024 Asian Champions Trophy in Hulunbuir, China, where India secured a 2-1 victory. The head-to-head over the last 10 years is dominatingly in favour of India, who remain undefeated across 17 encounters, with 15 wins and two draws.
