FIH Pro League 2026: India vs Pakistan hockey match live time, streaming | Other Sports News
India’s men’s hockey team will look to climb to seventh in the FIH Pro League standings when it faces Pakistan in its penultimate match of the season at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in London on Friday.
The contest comes just four days after India edged Pakistan 4-3 in a thrilling encounter and less than 24 hours after Craig Fulton’s side suffered a shootout defeat against England following a 2-2 draw in regulation time. With only two matches left in the campaign, both teams will be eager to end the season on a positive note.
India seek greater control
India have shown plenty of attacking intent during the London leg, but defensive lapses have prevented them from converting promising performances into victories. Against England, Dilpreet Singh scored twice to help India recover for a 2-2 draw before the hosts claimed the bonus point in the shootout. Earlier this week, Pakistan punished India’s penalty-corner defence by scoring all three of their goals from set-pieces despite ending up on the losing side.
Fulton will demand a more disciplined defensive display while expecting experienced players Harmanpreet Singh, Hardik Singh, and Vivek Sagar Prasad to dictate possession and ease the pressure on the backline. Another victory over Pakistan would not only boost confidence ahead of the final match against England but also lift India above Spain into seventh place with 17 points.
Pakistan seek first points after encouraging displays
Pakistan’s position at the bottom of the Pro League standings does not fully reflect the competitiveness they have shown in recent matches. Despite losing all 14 games, they pushed India all the way in their previous meeting and have repeatedly troubled opponents through swift counterattacks and well-executed penalty corners.
More than just three points
Although neither side is in contention for the Pro League title, the fixture carries significance beyond the standings. Pakistan have already been condemned to relegation to the Nations Cup next season after their winless campaign, making this encounter an opportunity to restore pride and finish strongly.
For India, the match provides another chance to fine-tune combinations, test tactical adjustments, and tighten defensive organisation before attention turns to the Hockey World Cup and the Asian Games later this year. A victory would also improve India’s position in the Pro League standings by moving them above Spain into seventh place.
For Pakistan, another competitive display against one of the world’s leading teams would offer encouragement despite a difficult campaign and provide momentum heading into the next phase of the team’s rebuilding process.
