The University of Birmingham Hockey Club is a field hockey club based at the University of Birmingham.[1] The club is regarded as the most successful English University Hockey Club, boasting four national league teams, more than any other English university.

The club plays its home games on the Bournbrook pitches (colloquially known as the 'Bourney B') on the south side of the University off the Edgbaston Park Road. The pitches hosted both the Men's and Women's competitions during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. UOBHC runs six men's teams and six women's teams competing in both BUCS and weekend leagues.[2] The men's first XI play in Division One North of the Men's England Hockey League[3] and the women's first XI play in the Premier Division Women's England Hockey League.[4]
