Event sponsor Raytheon
The United Kingdom Armed Forces Cricket Association is delighted to announce that Raytheon is our main event sponsor for 2022.
With facilities in Broughton, Waddington, Glenrothes, Harlow, Gloucester and Manchester, Raytheon UK is invested in the British workforce and the development of UK technology. Across the country the company employs 1,700 people and supports 9,000 jobs. As a prime contractor and major supplier to the U.K. Ministry of Defence, Raytheon continues to invest in research & development, supporting innovation and technological advances around Britain.
We value the unique relationship we have with the British Armed Forces and understand the importance they play in our society. That is why we have strengthened our support to the British Armed Forces by supporting a variety of initiatives, including the Combat Stress charity. In 2017, the UK Ministry of Defence awarded Raytheon UK the Gold Standard for our support to the Armed Forces community.
Ball sponsor BFBS
British Forces Broadcasting Service – The Home of Military Sport
Our broadcast teams will be pitch-side again this year to cover all the T20 action live from Lord’s for our radio, TV, and digital platforms. We are thrilled to be livestreaming the event, which can be watched on Forces News YouTube and BFBS TV overseas.
We are always looking to increase the range of forces sports that we livestream, to ensure that you can watch colleagues and friends compete wherever you are based. This year’s T20 will be our 32nd sport livestream of 2024 and we have many more planned for this year, including coverage of less mainstream sports.
Our livestreams are proving hugely popular with the whole armed forces community. At this year’s Inter Service Rugby Championships at Twickenham, our coverage of the men’s and women’s matches were watched by 143k – up 53% on last year – so if there’s a sport you’d like us to cover, drop us a line via streaming@bfbs.com.
As the home of military sport, we are committed to championing your forces events and this year we are also supporting more than thirty different forces sports through sponsorship and grants.
We wish all teams the very best of luck at Lord’s!
