Hyundai Motor Company has officially announced its return to international cricket, confirming a new Premier Partner agreement with the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the 2026–2027 cycle.

ICC Men’s tournaments (ODI & T20 formats)
ICC Women’s tournaments, supporting the sport’s rapid global growth

Why India Is Central to Hyundai’s Cricket Push

Hyundai’s earlier ICC association between 2011 and 2015 proved highly successful, particularly in India. This renewed partnership highlights the growing importance of India in Hyundai’s global growth plans.

Commenting on the announcement, Tarun Garg, Managing Director & CEO Designate of Hyundai Motor India Limited, said the brand is preparing a 360-degree activation strategy spanning PR, digital platforms, on-ground experiences, and dealerships to maximise impact.

Expect Hyundai showrooms to double up as fan hubs once the ICC calendar kicks off in 2026.

The Bigger Picture

By aligning itself with the ICC, Hyundai is tapping into cricket’s emotional pull—especially in countries where the sport is part of everyday life rather than just entertainment. This partnership places Hyundai at the centre of cricket’s biggest moments, right when fan engagement is at its peak.

With the 2026 ICC season approaching, Hyundai’s return signals one of the largest automotive–sports partnerships of the decade.
