2026 FIH Hockey World Cup secures Wales team sponsor and free UK broadcast

Milton Advisers has been announced as an official sponsor of the Wales senior men's hockey team ahead of the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup. Co‑founders Alex Walker MBE and Louis Rynsard said the partnership will help the squad prepare for the tournament in Belgium and the Netherlands later this month.

Channel 4 secured the rights to stream all home‑nation matches – England and Wales men’s games and England and Scotland women’s games – on its free Channel 4 Sport YouTube channel. The broadcaster will cover the competition, which runs from 14 to 30 August and features 16 men’s and 16 women’s national teams, with the aim of increasing hockey’s visibility across the United Kingdom.
