/
United Kingdom, May 2026 – Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s award-winning global travel platform, has announced an expansion of its global partnership with the International Cricket Council (ICC) to include the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, offering exclusive access to the tournament taking place in England in June and July.
Building on the success of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 earlier this year, Marriott Bonvoy is extending its role as ICC’s Official Accommodation Partner to include the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, with matches in London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, and Southampton this summer. The partnership underscores a shared focus on bringing fans closer to cricket through once-in-a-lifetime experiences, as women’s cricket enters a new phase of growth and momentum.
“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. 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 and the next generation of cricket players and fans even closer to the sport,” said John Toomey, Chief Commercial Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International.
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.”
Women’s cricket continues to reach new heights, with the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 generating over five billion video views globally — a massive jump from 1.5 billion in 2024 — and driving 279 million social media interactions, more than triple the previous tournament. Broadcast viewership also reached new levels, with a record 185 million tuning in for the final.
The 2026 edition will be the first time the World Cup features 12 nations, all competing for the biggest prize pot in the tournament’s history.

Marriott Bonvoy’s Anthem Kids will return for the tournament, offering the children of members a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk out onto the field alongside the biggest names in cricket. Starting today, Marriott Bonvoy Moments will be available online to members worldwide.
