The EHL board has decided not to continue with the field goal equals two trial, used last season, so this season every goal will return to equaling one whether it comes from the field or a penalty corner. Due to the overcrowded international hockey calendar from 2019 onwards because of the 2019 Men's FIH Pro League, the EHL has combined the KO16 and FINAL4 events at Easter, making a six-day event from April 17 to 22, 2019.[4]
Round One was held from 5 until 7 October 2018 at the Pau Negre Stadium in Barcelona. The draw took place on 17 July 2018.[4] If a game is won, the winning team receives 5 points. A draw results in both teams receiving 2 points. A loss gives the losing team 1 point unless the losing team loses by 3 or more goals, then they receive 0 points.
All times are local, CET (UTC+1).[5]
