European club hockey has its own CHL
The Champions Hockey League is a European club competition. Its initials can be confused with the Canadian Hockey League, which is a different organisation. Use the full competition name and the participating clubs before selecting a table or programme. A search for CHL alone can return the wrong hockey context.
The current regular season uses one table
The organiser’s 2026/27 format has twenty-four teams. Each is drawn against six opponents, with three home and three away appointments drawn across the pots. The results feed one overall table from first to twenty-fourth. This is not a small group in which every club repeatedly meets the same three opponents.
Points reflect how a game is decided
The published format awards three points for a regulation win. When a game goes to overtime or a shoot-out, the clubs divide the points two–one. The winner’s table award therefore depends on the deciding route. Reading only wins and losses can miss a difference between clubs’ standings totals.
The playoffs use aggregate ties
The round of sixteen begins the playoffs. Except for the final, the organiser describes two-game home-and-away aggregate-scoring ties. This differs from a best-of-seven series in other hockey competitions. A first-game win does not by itself complete the tie, and a second match should not be dismissed as an unnecessary repeat.
Choose the right record for the stage
During the regular season, use the shared table. During a playoff tie, follow both games and the aggregate. The final has its own single-game appointment. Confirm current fixture and coverage details for the edition rather than inferring them from a club badge or another country’s hockey broadcast.
