Elite Club Challenge Returns to Riverside for Road to World Cup Edition
Beyond the hockey, the Elite Club Challenge 2026 will form part of one of Durban’s biggest sporting weekends of the year. Saturday’s playoff programme will begin before midday and build towards the leading women’s and men’s matches under lights.
The weekend also coincides with the Springboks’ match against Wales, which will be shown on the big screen in the Elite Club Challenge Village. Supporters will be able to enjoy the rugby watchfest before attention returns to the turf for the decisive evening hockey matches.
