The National Hockey Festival is set to make its highly anticipated return to Naples, Florida, from November 26 to 28, 2026, at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex.
Spanning three days, the tournament will feature nine pristine turf fields where teams compete across a spectrum of age divisions, from youth co‑ed categories to elite girls’ divisions.
Competition formats vary, with 7‑v‑7 games played in quarters for younger brackets and 11‑v‑11 matches divided into halves for older groups, each game lasting 55 minutes.
Economic and Community Impact
Beyond the on‑field action, organizers anticipate a substantial economic boost for the region, as participants and spectators will explore Naples’s beaches, dining venues, and shopping districts.
USA Field Hockey’s Director of Events, Madeline Rascon, expressed enthusiasm about the festival’s homecoming, highlighting the opportunity to showcase the sport’s growth and the unique attributes of the Naples community.
Registration for the 2026 edition opens on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at noon Eastern Time on the Sport:80 platform, with pre‑registration for Legacy Teams already underway through email communications from USA Field Hockey.
