2026 / 2027 NATIONAL LEAGUE

2026–2027 Men’s & Women’s National League

Regional pride. National competition. Your team’s opportunity to become champions.

The Action Indoor Cricket England National League brings together teams from across the country to compete for national titles. Traditionally an area-based competition, it gives teams representing regions such as Birmingham, Leicester, Derby, the North and the South the opportunity to test themselves against opposition from across the country.

The 2026/27 competition includes Men’s Premier, Men’s B League and Women’s Premier, with teams competing to become national champions in their respective divisions.

Across four rounds, success will depend on consistent performances, smart decision-making and contributions from the whole squad. Bring your competitive spirit, back your teammates and represent your area with pride.

Entry fees and match costs

All prices below are per team, not per player.

* National League entry fee: £100.00

* Match fee: £64.00 per game

* Fixture deposit: £256.00, payable alongside the entry fee.

Total payable upon registration: £356.00 per team.

This consists of the £100.00 entry fee plus the £256.00 deposit. It is not the total cost of all matches across the season.

How the deposit works

Following cancellations during the previous season, a fixture deposit is required from every team entering the 2026/27 National League. This helps protect the fixture programme, participating teams and host centres.

The £256.00 deposit will be credited against your team’s match fees for its final round of fixtures. It is an advance payment towards those fees, rather than an additional entry charge.

Match fees for earlier rounds remain payable at £64.00 per team, per game.

Forfeited fixtures

Any forfeited game will incur a charge of £128.00, payable by the forfeiting team.

This covers your team’s £64.00 match fee and the opposition’s £64.00 match fee—the combined amount the host centre would otherwise have received for that fixture.

Forfeiture charges are payable separately and will not be deducted from the £256.00 fixture deposit. The deposit remains allocated towards your team’s match fees for its final round of fixtures.

Please check your squad’s availability before entering and ensure your team can fulfil its scheduled fixtures. Any potential availability issues should be raised with the organisers as early as possible.
