Participant check 2026: EHC Biel-Bienne and HC Dynamo Pardubice
Two new teams await Munich and Salzburg this year: EHC Biel-Bienne and HC Dynamo Pardubice.

In the 2024/2025 season, the club narrowly missed out on a place in the play-offs and finished in 11th place at the end of the main round.
HC Dynamo Pardubice was founded in 1923 and has been crowned Czech champion six times (1973, 1987, 1989, 2005, 2010 and 2012). Pardubice finished the 2024/25 season as runners-up after a close final series against Kometa Brno.

// HIGHLIGHTS
The exciting story behind the Red Bulls Salute
The Red Bulls Salute was born from the idea of offering fans top ice hockey in the summer. The invitational tournament took place for the first time in 2005 - at that time the winner was ERC Ingolstadt. The format and number of participants changed in the following years, but the first-class line-up of top teams from Europe's best leagues remained.
From 2010, the Red Bulls Salute served as the final tournament of the European Trophy, the predecessor of the Champions League. The last edition in 2013 was won by the Finnish team JYP Jyväskylä. The tournament then gave way to the Champions League (CHL). Since 2017, the international invitational tournament has once again been held annually in August.
