Aleš Hřebeský Memorial. The first two European teams to finish in the top five at the 2025 FMC and who did not qualify for the prestigious spring tournament by finishing in the top 15 this year will receive an invitation.

The home club LCC will field both the experienced Custodes team, which will be among the favorites, and the young LCC Foxes team, which shone at the Canada Day tournament in Calgary and will be gaining further international experience. All other Czech clubs will also field teams – TJ Malešice, SK Lacrosse Jižní Město, Lakros Zbraslav, and this year's NBLL newcomer SIS Grizzlies. The ambitious Polish team Panthers Wrocław and the experienced team Bats Bratislava DNV will also be coming.

Teams from Scandinavia are returning to the tournament – the Finnish Box Monkeys and the Norwegian GSI Grizzlies. The Scottish team Edin-Bru will also be back, and the Belgium Axemen will be newcomers to the tournament, although they are already familiar with Radotín from the Aleš Hřebeský Memorial.

The new teams will be the most intriguing. Under the ROLAX banner, a diverse international selection of players from Europe and overseas will be introduced. Two teams will compete under the US flag: the south will be represented by the New Orleans Hustlers and the north by the Everett Express, based in Washington State and with a number of Canadian players on their roster. The SWAT team will arrive from Saskatoon, Canada, where several Radotín players gained experience a few years ago. The teams are still finalizing their rosters, but from what the teams have already announced, we can expect a solid standard.
