The competition draw, held last Friday, has defined the groups and matchups for the two senior teams of Martinelia Manlleu. The men's team will face high-level rivals such as Espanyol, Cerdanyola, Sant Just, Vic, and Palafrugell, among others, in what has been described as the "group of death" due to its difficulty.
The men's first team, placed in the Southern group, will have to compete against teams considered favorites for promotion to the OK Liga, such as Mataró and Palafrugell, as well as new entrants like Patí Vilanova and Mollerussa. The men's opening match will be at home against Club Hoquei Mollerussa, a competitive team that comes from winning the Nacional Catalana regular season. The regional derby against Vic will take place on October 10th.
The Copa de la Princesa will be held on March 6th and 7th, 2027, with the venue yet to be determined, and will be contested by the top two teams from each Plata group in the first half of the season. The men's regular season will conclude with matches against Club d'Esports Vendrell, Sporting Alcoi, Cerdanyola, and Alcobendas, games that will be decisive for the Southern group championship and direct promotion to the OK Liga.
Meanwhile, the women's first team also faces a demanding season in the OK Liga Femenina. After finishing in sixth place last year and reaching the Copa de la Reina, the players coached by Díez will start the league at the end of October against Cerdanyola. The championship will begin later than usual due to the World Roller Games in Paraguay.
The top women's category will feature a regional derby against Club Patí Voltregà, with the first match in the tenth round and the second in the twenty-third, a key encounter for Manlleu's sporting future. The Osona team's regular season will end against Mataró, the Galician team Raxoi, and Gijón.
The Copa de la Reina will take place from April 15th to 18th, with a venue to be decided, and will feature the eight best teams from the first half of the season. The top four teams in the OK Liga Femenina will qualify for the play-offs for the title.
