Last year, ITV first became an official rights holder of the Hexagon Cup, marking the first time that professional padel had been aired on a mainstream television channel in the UK.

The event is described as padel’s first World Cup for private teams. It features men’s and women’s players competing in teams for an equal prize fund of €1 million ($1.08 million).

Recently, GolStadium, the revived OTT streaming platform owned by Spanish sports agency Mediapro, acquired domestic TV rights to the tournament.

The platform will broadcast all matches from the tournament both live and delayed on-demand, with daily broadcasts occurring from 1 pm through 10 pm local time.

Meanwhile, the Hexagon Cup has today also further bolstered its commercial portfolio for the second season with Spanish fashion brand Scalpers unveiled as the official clothing sponsor for the tournament.

Scalpers will provide Hexagon Cup staff uniforms, including executive teams and event staff.

Additionally, Scalpers will host its own activation space in the fan zone at the Madrid Arena, with fan engagement activities planned throughout the competition week.
