About Major League Cricket
Major League Cricket (MLC) is the premier professional T20 cricket league in the United States, bringing the world’s most exciting and dynamic sport to America. Established to elevate cricket's presence in the U.S., MLC showcases top-tier competition featuring international stars, emerging domestic talent, and franchise teams representing iconic cities across the nation.
Through its interconnected commercial rights and responsibilities including Minor League Cricket, as well as the USA men’s and women’s national teams, MLC is not just a league; it’s a movement to bring one of the world’s most popular sports to a new frontier. With global partnerships, investments from leading cricket organizations, and a commitment to excellence, we are redefining the future of cricket in America.
The Opportunity
Major League Cricket is seeking a highly organized and operationally adept Marketing Coordinator for a fixed-term contract to support the delivery of MLC’s fourth season, scheduled to take place from 18 June to 18 July 2026. Reporting to the Senior Marketing Manager, this role will provide critical execution support across integrated marketing campaigns, e-mail marketing, print production and match-day activations.
You will be the connective tissue that keeps campaigns moving and executes key marketing initiatives across our host cities. While the role is anchored in marketing operations and reporting, you will also serve as a versatile contributor who can support other marketing initiatives, including content capture and copywriting.
Why Join MLC?
We are at a defining moment for cricket in the United States. Season 4 of Major League Cricket is expanding to the Los Angeles market for the first time, as well as staging the playoffs and championship match at the iconic Oakland Coliseum.
The U.S. Men’s National Team recently competed in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India, and most significantly, cricket will return to the Olympic stage at the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games, catapulting the sport into a new era of global visibility and commercial opportunity.
You’ll join a dynamic marketing team, contributing to the growth of a rising sport, and gaining hands-on experience in one of the most dynamic sports markets in the world.
