KCOM named Community and Connectivity Partner of the Hull Seahawks for 2025/26 Season
The Hull Seahawks are proud to welcome KCOM, Hull’s leading broadband provider, as the official Community and Connectivity Partner for the 2025/26 season.
As a trusted pillar in the region, KCOM brings the same expertise and connectivity to Hull Seahawks that has been powering homes and businesses across the region for more than a century. The partnership will harness KCOM’s technical expertise and dedication to digital inclusion, supporting the Seahawks’ community engagement and enhancing fan experience both online and in-arena on match nights.
KCOM’s contributions in the 2025/26 season will include:
- Enhanced Connectivity: Fast and reliable access for the arena and across digital platforms.
- Community Integration: Digital Inclusion initiatives and workshops to be run by KCOM at the Hull Ice Arena rink for groups to take place in a different environment within Hull.
- Technology in Action: Bringing digital engagement tools, live connectivity and enhanced online content to the Seahawks’ fans and community.
- This partnership marks a forward-looking collaboration where sport, technology and community intersect to deliver a season of innovation, connection and shared success.
Jan Collins, Managing Director of KCOM Enterprise, said: “The Seahawks are a fantastic community club that are truly connected to their fans in Hull and beyond and it’s a pleasure to be teaming up with them for the exciting season ahead. By connecting Hull Ice Arena to our full fibre technology, we’ll be enhancing match-day experience for fans, empowering local community groups to enjoy the venue and hopefully helping to give the players the edge on the ice.”
Callum Gladding, Hull Seahawks Commercial Manager, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “Having such a prominent local business who support local sport and the community such as KCOM to finally provide the rink with some much-needed Wi-Fi is a huge step forward for the club and the rink.
“We’re really looking forwards to seeing what we can activate within this partnership which will no doubt increase the match night experience for fans on many different levels. I’m very excited for what the future holds, and we look forward to welcoming the KCOM team to the rink this season.”
