2026 FIH Hockey World Cup (Men and Women)

This opportunity is open to all territories worldwide, with a deadline to submit a proposal set for 24 June 2022.
FIH CEO Thierry Weil said: “With 30 million players around the world in key markets in every continent, a gender equal participation – 51% women, 49% men – and a growing portfolio of FIH events with the inclusion of the very first FIH Hockey5s World Cup in 2024 and the launch of the FIH Hockey Nations Cup this year, hockey’s profile is rising. Therefore, I can only urge all broadcasters looking for an Olympic, global, gender equal, dynamic and growing sport, to send us their bid for the next broadcasting rights cycle.”
