Cognizant Major League Cricket (MLC) today announced a new partnership with CrickBuster USA, Inc., North America’s leading sports hospitality e-commerce firm and Official Online Ticketing Agent (OTA) for major International Cricket Council (ICC) events. Named league’s Official Hospitality Experience Partner, CrickBuster will introduce all-inclusive matchday packages designed to make attending live MLC matches in 2026 easier, more accessible, and more engaging for fans.
By combining match tickets, transportation, and entertainment into a single, streamlined experience, the offering simplifies the entire matchday journey while delivering strong value for fans. With travel and logistics handled, supporters can focus fully on enjoying the energy of live cricket and the shared experience of attending matches together.
At a time when meaningful fan access is increasingly rare in global sport, the partnership introduces a new standard by offering direct, up-close engagement with players. This level of access, combined with a fully integrated matchday experience, brings fans closer to the game in a way that is rarely available in professional sports.
For millions of cricket fans across the United States, the sport is about more than what happens on the field; it’s about community, connection, and shared celebration. This partnership brings those elements to life by creating an experience that extends beyond the stadium and connects fans throughout the day.
From first-time attendees to longtime supporters, the offering provides a new, social and immersive way to experience MLC, bringing fans together and reinforcing the deep sense of community at the heart of the game. Whether it’s a family outing, a group of friends, or a corporate or community event, it delivers a simple, high-value, and memorable way to experience live cricket.
CrickBuster’s Matchday Experience Packages include round-trip coach transportation, premium match seating, onboard refreshments, live entertainment, pre- and post-match celebrations, and exclusive opportunities for fans to interact with MLC players — creating a seamless, all-in-one matchday experience.
Packages are available for all three MLC venues in Dallas (Grand Prairie), San Francisco, and the league’s new purpose-built cricket ground in Los Angeles, with opening matches starting this July. Packages start at $100–$160, offering an all-inclusive experience in a single purchase. Departures are available from key markets including Austin, Houston, Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Los Angeles, Artesia, San Francisco, Sacramento, and surrounding communities.
“CrickBuster is excited to partner with Major League Cricket as the Official Hospitality Experience Partner for the 2026 season,” said Ms. Rashmi Prabhakar, Co-founder & President, CrickBuster USA, Inc. “We have created all-inclusive fan experience packages with official match tickets, stadium transfers, and hospitality to make attending live cricket simple, exciting, and hassle-free for fans.”
“Experiences like this are critical to how we grow the game in the United States, and we’re excited to partner with CrickBuster to bring this to life. By bringing fans closer to the players and creating a more connected, accessible matchday experience, we’re not just building audiences. We’re building a true cricket community across the country,” said Johnny Grave, CEO, Major League Cricket.
