Adelaide Fire will compete for the first time in the inaugural season of Hockey One, which will be contested from late September through to mid November 2019.
==History== Adelaide Fire, along with six other teams, was founded on 17 April 2019 as part of Hockey Australia's development of hockey.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hockey.org.au/News/a-new-era-begins-hockey-one-is-here |title=A New Era Begins – Hockey One Is Here! |publisher=Hockey Australia |accessdate=18 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190417082255/http://hockey.org.au/News/a-new-era-begins-hockey-one-is-here |archive-date=17 April 2019 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The establishment of the club however, was not met without challenges. It was feared Hockey SA would not enter Hockey One due to financial restraints, however after a public fundraiser the entry quota was met.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeysa.com.au/News-Events/donate-to-the-our-project-on-the-australian-sports-foundation |title=Donate to the our project on the Australian Sports Foundation |publisher=Hockey SA |accessdate=18 April 2019 }}</ref>
The club name of the Fire is a natural progression and combination of the former club names – the Hotshots and the Suns.
==Uniform== The club colours are a modern take on traditional SA colours, the yellow, now replaced with white provides a cleaner, modern feel to the uniforms.
