The Men's Indoor National League Division 1 is the top tier of men's indoor hockey in Scotland. The winners are crowned Scottish Hockey indoor champions and represent Scotland in the EHF Eurohockey Indoor Club Championships.

The league runs from December to February every year. It comprises eight teams, with each playing the others once in a round robin format, followed by a split into two divisions comprising the top half and bottom half of the league. A further round of games is played in these divisions. The top two teams in the top half division meet in a grand final to determine the league winner. The bottom two teams in the bottom half division play in a relegation playoff to determine relegation to National League Division 2.

All eight teams meet at a central venue with most matches being played on a Saturday at Bell's Sports Centre. Other venues include Dundee International Sports Centre and the PEAK Centre in Stirling.
