Quilter Cheviot, the high-net-worth wealth management arm of Quilter plc, has been named the title sponsor of this year’s British Open, the prestigious squash tournament held at the spectacular Birmingham Rep Theatre between May 30 - June 7, 2026.
The Quilter Cheviot British Open is the longest-running event on the PSA Squash Tour and 2026 will mark the tournament’s fourth successive year at The Rep since making its home in Birmingham in 2023.
The tournament has been running since 1929 and some of the greatest players ever to pick up a squash racket have lifted the iconic trophy aloft, such as Peru’s Diego Elias and Egypt’s Nouran Gohar, who claimed the silverware in 2025. $740,000 of total player compensation will be up for grabs this year.
“We are delighted to welcome Quilter Cheviot as the title sponsor of the British Open,” said Tournament Director Tim Garner.
“The British Open is squash’s most historic tournament, and it is fantastic to have the support of a company like Quilter Cheviot, whose heritage and commitment to excellence makes them a perfect partner.
“We look forward to having them on board as we deliver another world-class event at The Rep and build on the incredible momentum we’ve generated over the past few years.”
Quilter Cheviot Chief Executive John Goddard added: “We are delighted to be adding our name to such a prestigious sporting competition by becoming title sponsor of the British Open.
“This will be a great opportunity for a new audience, one which shares our passion for dedication and excellence, to connect with the Quilter Cheviot brand. This will be a fantastic showcase of squash, and we are excited to help make it an unforgettable event.”
The Quilter Cheviot British Open will host 96 players throughout nine days of intense action, while a qualifying tournament will take place between May 26-28 at Solihull Arden Club. Selected matches will be held at Solihull Arden for the first three days of competition, while the glass show court at The Rep will be erected from May 31.
Tickets are available to purchase here, while matches will also be broadcast live on SQUASHTV and by PSA’s broadcast partners.
