The 2026 Women's EuroHockey Indoor Club Cup was the 34th edition of the Women's EuroHockey Indoor Club Cup, Europe's premier indoor hockey club tournament for women organized by the European Hockey Federation. It was held at the Swarzędz Sports Hall in Zalasewo, Poland from 20 to 22 February 2026.[1][2][3]

Sumchanka were the defending champions, they did not defend their title as they were elimanted in the preliminary round.[4]

Waterloo Ducks won the tournament for the first time in their history and became the first Belgian club to do so by defeating Den Bosch 2–1 in a shoot-out as the final finished 2–2.[5] East Grinstead won the bronze medal as they defeated Mannheimer HC 6–2.[6] Club de Campo and the hosts Swarek Swarzędz finished in seventh and eighth place respectively, which means Spain and Poland were relegated to the Club Trophy in 2027.[7]

Teams

The participating clubs have qualified for each division based on their country's final ranking from the 2025 competition. Lithuania and Turkey were relegated and were replaced by Poland and England who were promoted from the 2025 EuroHockey Indoor Club Trophy.[8] Rotterdam originally qualified as the 2024–25 Dutch indoor champion, they withdrew because the tournament did not fit into their preparation for the second half of the outdoor season. They were replaced by Den Bosch, the runners-up from the 2024–25 Dutch indoor season.[9]
