The 2025 Men's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup is the 14th edition of the Men's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, the biennial men's under-21 field hockey world championship organized by the International Hockey Federation. It is held at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium in Chennai and Madurai International Hockey Stadium Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India, from 28 November to 10 December 2025. ^{[1] [2]} The tournament will feature 24 teams for the first time. ^[3]

Format

24 teams will be split into six groups and four teams and play a round-robin. After the preliminary round, the teams will be ranked in their position they finished. The group winners and the two best-second placed teams advance to the quarterfinals. The four remaining second-placed teams and the four best third-ranked teams play the 9 to 16th place playoffs and the remaining teams the 17 to 24th place games. From there on, a knockout system will be used. ^[4]

Qualification

Alongside the hosts, India, the 23 other teams qualify via the continental championships. ^[5]

Qualified teams

Because only two teams participated in the Oceania qualifier the third quota from Oceania was reallocated to Europe, the continent of the next highest placed team in the Junior World Ranking.

Highlighted are the countries that are participating in the 2025 Men's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup.
