After nearly three months, the Race to Qualify for the 2025/26 season of the Champions Hockey League is finally over! 

The 24-strong line-up for the upcoming season got its first qualifier ahead of CHL Final 2025 when KAC Klagenfurt became the first team to qualify for the 11th season of Europe's elite club ice hockey competition.

The long battle to qualify then followed, ending with the crowning of Liiga champions KalPa Kuopio who filled in the final place on the 2025/26 roster.
