Everything you need to know about the 2026 PA Field Hockey Senior Cup
Team Hershey celebrates their 2025 PA Field Hockey Senior Cup victory
It’s been one year since we crowned the graduating class of Pennsylvania high school field hockey athletes.
Last year, it was a battle between the chocolate town (Hershey, West) and the cheesesteak town (Phila North, East).
For two years in a row, Hershey has won the Senior Cup. Both games went into overtime.
The free livestream of the Gold Medal Game can be found on femaleathletenews.com at 5 p.m.

Train with Olympian Phia Gladieux
Gladieux will be hosting a clinic on Field 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Tickets for this 45-minute skills session are $65 and can be purchased via this link. She will also be available for photos, autographs, and questions following the session. Please note that her time for photos and questions will be limited during the CPR/AED clinic. Proceeds from her skills clinic go toward the purchase of an AED.
Food and Bags
FAN will have concessions hosted by the Conestoga Valley field hockey team and their parents. They will have lots of cook-out style food, as well as whoopie pies. And, a FAN favorite, we'll have Grateful Bowls back for a third year in a row. They accept cash, credit card, and Venmo.
Only necessary items are allowed to be brought into the fields, no big bags. No outside food. And, FAN has hired professional photographers, so professional photography is not allowed on the fields or in the stands.
Gold Medal Game and School Donation
Any high school field hockey program represented by at least 10 fans wearing school apparel will be entered to win a $500 donation for their 2026 Fall program. Their photo will be taken, and then shared on Instagram for a social vote. The vote will determine the winner. The voting starts March 23. Visit this link to purchase tickets.
Game format
Each pool game is 20 minute halves and a five minute halftime. Each team plays three games total. The teams with the best record in the East pool and West pool automatically advance to the Gold Medal Game at 5 p.m. The second best records advance to the Bronze Medal Game.
