The federation changed names to England Bandy Federation in January 2017 and to Great Britain Bandy Association in September 2017. The Great Britain national bandy team made its debut at the 2019 Bandy World Championship in Sweden and managed to become runners-up in the B Division in its début championship tournament, but could not attend the 2020 World Championship in Russia due to problems getting visas for the players. The early 2020s has since seen a hiatus in international play due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
