Marriott Bonvoy and the International Cricket Council (ICC) have entered into a multi-year strategic partnership, with Marriott International’s travel platform appointed as the official accommodation partner for ICC events through 2029.

The partnership brings together one of the world’s most-watched sports with Marriott Bonvoy’s global network of hotels, stays and experiences, giving its members access to major cricket events across continents, while extending Marriott’s reach into cricket’s highly engaged global fan base.

The agreement covers all ICC Men’s events over the next four years, including the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka, the ICC World Test Championship Final 2027 in the United Kingdom, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2028 in Australia and New Zealand, the ICC World Test Championship Final 2029 in the United Kingdom and the ICC Champions Trophy 2029 in India.

With a footprint of more than 450 properties across host markets, Marriott is positioned to accommodate teams, fans and members travelling domestically and internationally for ICC events. Fans attending matches will be able to stay across Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio and access official travel packages through ICC Travel and Tours.

As cricket continues to command one of the largest global audiences in sport, the partnership aligns with Marriott Bonvoy’s focus on connecting members with the passions and places they care about.

The two organisations will collaborate on designing and launching new hospitality concepts at select venues, aiming to deliver premium on-ground experiences for fans.

Beyond accommodation and travel, Marriott Bonvoy and the ICC will also work together on curated cricket-related content, local market activations and member engagement initiatives, extending the partnership into storytelling, experiences and community-led engagement around the game.

Rajeev Menon, president, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International, said, “Cricket’s dominance as a sport has the power to unite the fans across different countries. We’re now bringing the power of Marriott Bonvoy to over two billion fans and delivering bespoke cricket experiences to our 260 million Marriott Bonvoy members. The partnership will allow us to push the boundary and deepen engagement in India, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, where the love for cricket runs deep."

Satya Anand, president - Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International, added, “Cricket has been a lifelong passion for me, and like millions of fans, I’ve felt how the game brings people together across borders and generations. Partnering with the International Cricket Council allows Marriott Bonvoy to turn that shared passion into unforgettable journeys, giving our members around the world unmatched ways to experience ICC events, both on and off the pitch. As we celebrate this milestone in India today, we’re excited to welcome fans to our hotels and to new, exclusive moments that bring the thrill of cricket even closer." 

Jay Shah, ICC Chairman, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Marriott Bonvoy into a partnership that reflects a shared ambition to redefine how fans experience the game of cricket. By combining the global reach of our game with Marriott’s portfolio of world-class destinations, we are creating a powerful platform that connects cricket and memorable travel experiences across leading cricketing nations. Marriott Bonvoy’s addition as a sponsor to our portfolio also reinforces the ICC’s long-term vision of working with respected global brands that go beyond visibility to deliver meaningful value to fans. Together, we see this partnership as a means of deep fan connection.”

Sanjog Gupta, ICC CEO, added, “The ICC is committed to elevating the experiential standards of Cricket’s pinnacle events. While the athletic spectacle is central to a fan’s experience, the lifestyle, hospitality, travel and cultural components are essential too. We hope to leverage the partnership with Marriott Bonvoy to develop and deploy varied travel & hospitality experiences to enhance fan delight at our events and help turn moments into lifelong memories. ICC events are hosted across the world, and fans cover thousands of miles to experience the allure of these cultural spectacles. Marriott Bonvoy’s international footprint, customer focus and commitment to delivering elevated experiences make them a natural partner in our endeavour to grow the allure and make our fans’ journeys more enriching.”
