Steinbach Black Wings Linz vs. EC IDM Wärmepumpen VSV

The 13 teams in the multinational league will start the 2025/26 season in September, which will be played as a double round robin with 48 games per team. As in the previous season, the top six teams will qualify for the quarter-finals in the coming season after the basic round.

The teams in seventh to tenth place will play out the remaining two quarter-final participants in "pre-playoffs" ("best-of-3"). From the quarter-finals onwards, all rounds are played in a best-of-7 format.
