Clubs from different countries play in one championship. Five teams from four countries. From October to December, once a month, everyone meets in Sarajevo and plays a full Round in four days.
The first game of Season 1 went to the home team. Vukovi beat Bulgaria Select 5:1 in Sarajevo, even though Bulgaria had more shots on goal, 36 to 24.
Next, Fri 30 Oct: 17:00 Vukovi – Buzadam Jolly and 20:00 IH Pro Stars – Bulgaria Select

The hotel is a five minute walk from the arena in Sarajevo. Inside it’s all about the 1984 Winter Olympics, and there’s a rooftop jacuzzi with a view over the city.
BHC teams get a special offer.
The Season 1 line-up is complete. Buzadam Jolly, one of Turkey's leading clubs, become the fifth team of the Balkan Hockey Championship and bring a fourth country to the league.
First game: Fri 30 Oct, 17:00 · Vukovi vs Buzadam Jolly · Sarajevo
All teams meet in Sarajevo and play several game days over a few days. Instead of weekly away trips, there is one trip a month, so the schedule fits around work, studies and domestic leagues.
Each Round runs Thursday to Sunday. Every team plays every other team three times, once per Round, for 12 games each. Most games are in Sarajevo; one game per Round is played in Novi Sad and one in Bulgaria or Turkey.
The regular season ends on 20 December. In January, the Final Four is played over one weekend: semi-finals 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3, then the final and the third-place game.
