The press service of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) provided a detailed explanation regarding the club rankings for the 2024/2025 season.

Starting from the 2024/2025 season, the “Compliance with Technical Regulations” indicator will no longer be included in the ranking. Its weight (5%) has been redistributed to the “Media Relations and Social Media Activity” parameter. All metrics are organized into four categories, each addressing different aspects of the clubs’ operations:
