Additionally, Channel 4 obtained rights to stream matches involving England, Wales, and Scotland on its free YouTube channel to increase the sport’s visibility in the United Kingdom.

By the conclusion of the second pool phase of the tournament, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) reported that the event had surpassed 106.4 million digital views.
