On Sunday, 30 November 2025, the EVZ will kick off the National Cup with the round of 16 match against the GCK Lions Women. The game will take place from 5.30 pm in the Swiss Life Training Hall – admission is free!

The GCK Lions women are part of the ZSC Lions organisation and play in the SWHL-B. They are no strangers to the EVZ Women’s Team – the teams met twice in the 2023/24 season. The verdict was clear in both games: EVZ won 17:0 and 16:1. Head coach Räto Stadler’s team will also be considered the clear underdogs against the clear leaders from Zug on Sunday, but they would like to upset the reigning Cup winners in their own arena. For them, the goal in the National Cup this season is once again clear: defend the title!

There will be no commentated live ticker for the game, but you can find the line-up, goals and penalties in the Game Centre as usual. The game will also be streamed on RED+.

The quarter-finals will take place on 20 December 2025. The winners of these matches will qualify for the Final 4 tournament, which will take place on 16 and 17 January 2026 at the Vaudoise Aréna in Lausanne. Not only will the two semi-finals and the final be played there, but also the match for third place. Advance tickets for the Final 4 tournament went on sale on Thursday, 20 November 2025 at www.sihf.ch/ticketing.

The draw will be made anew for each round; there is no seeding list.

All matches of the Women’s National Cup will be broadcast live and free of charge on RED+.
