Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe a different format was used with only one event and 16 less teams. The four participating teams were the four original seeded clubs for the original format. The semi-finals were played on 3 April and the final on 5 April 2021 at the Wagener Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands.[1]

Bloemendaal won a record fourth title after defeating first time finalists Atlètic Terrassa 5–2 in the final.[2] Léopold won their first medal after defeating Uhlenhorst Mülheim 4–2 in the bronze medal match.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

In May 2020 it was announced that the first round, usually being played in October, could not be played due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe and the format for this season would be changed. On 11 February 2021 it was announced the tournament would be played with only four teams and behind closed doors.[1] The rest of the teams participated in the 2021 Men's Euro Hockey League Cup.

Original format

Originally the number of teams was reduced to only 12 from the usual 20 teams. The remaining teams would have played in the 2021 EHL Cup. The different number of teams also meant a new format for this season. The number one seed from the top four ranked nations received a bye to the Final 8. The remaining eight sides would have played in four knock-out matches for a chance to join them in the Final 8; the losers would subsequently contest ranking matches for 9th and 11th place.[3][4]
