The International Cricket Council (ICC) and Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s award-winning global travel platform, have announced an expansion of their global partnership to include the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, offering exclusive access to the tournament taking place in England this Summer.

Building on the success of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 earlier this year, the partnership underscores a shared focus on bringing fans closer to cricket through once-in-a-lifetime experiences, as the women’s game enters a new phase of growth and momentum.  

This latest news comes on the eve of a record-breaking ICC Women’s T20 World Cup this summer and at a time when women’s cricket is experiencing significant momentum across participation, audiences and investment. 

At the recent ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, digital engagement reached historic levels, generating 5.2 billion video views – a massive jump from 1.5 billion in 2024 – and driving 279 million social media interactions, more than triple the previous edition. Viewership also reached new heights, with a record 185 million tuning in for the final. 

Now, for the first time, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 will feature 12 nations, competing for the biggest prize pot in the tournament’s history after the ICC brought forward pay parity across all its men’s and women’s events.  

Not only that, but it has already become the highest-selling edition in the tournament’s history by surpassing the total fan attendance recorded across the entirety of the 2020 competition in Australia, with more than 145,000 tickets sold and 30 days still to go before the opening match between England and Sri Lanka on 12 June. 

Sanjog Gupta, ICC Chief Executive, said: “We are pleased to expand our partnership with Marriott Bonvoy to encompass an association with ICC's women's events. Our collaboration with the global partner on the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 has already demonstrated how powerful experience-led engagement can be to help build deeper connections with fans. Expanding this into the pinnacle women’s tournament allows us to build on that success, making the event a more immersive experience for fans and audiences. 

"As the global stature and affiliation for ICC's women's events grow, this partnership will help enhance fan access and deliver more engaging experiences, ensuring we continue to serve the game and its fans in deeper, more meaningful ways. Women’s cricket has entered a defining phase of growth, and partnerships like this are key to driving its future.” 

Andrew Watson, Chief Commercial Officer, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International, said: “The response to Marriott Bonvoy’s partnership with the ICC has been fantastic, we saw first-hand how bringing members closer to the game can deepen engagement and create lasting memories for their loved ones.  The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 offers an exciting new opportunity to build on that momentum, offering unforgettable travel and on-the-ground hospitality experiences in England this summer. I am especially excited to see the return of our Anthem Kids experience, one of our most meaningful ways to bring families even closer to the sport."

Members can choose to use their Marriott Bonvoy points to bid or redeem for more than 150 Marriott Bonvoy Moments, including Matchday Marriott Bonvoy Tickets and Hospitality Experiences, pre-match Beyond the Boundary experiences and ICC Legend Training Experiences. Marriott Bonvoy’s Anthem Kids will return for the tournament, offering the children of members a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk out to the field alongside the biggest names in cricket. Starting today, Marriott Bonvoy Moments will be available online here to members worldwide. 

For members travelling to the matches this summer, Marriott Hotels has locations nearby to key stadiums including London Marriott Hotel County Hall for The Oval and London Marriott Hotel Regents Park and London Marriott Hotel Maida Vale for Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, Leeds Marriott Hotel for Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, Manchester Marriott Victoria & Albert Hotel and Manchester Marriott Hotel Piccadilly for Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel for Gloucestershire Cricket in Bristol and Portsmouth Marriott Hotel for Utilita Bowl in Southampton.
