The ECB Club Accreditation scheme is replacing the Clubmark scheme from 2027

In 2027, all clubs currently holding a Clubmark accreditation between 2022 and 2025 will be required to complete this new accreditation process. Over time, the ambition is for every affiliated club to have the opportunity to work towards ECB Accredited status – but for 2027, this opportunity will only be available to the clubs with existing Clubmark Accreditation.

Clubs will be accredited for a three-year period, subject to meeting the accreditation requirements, with their recognition level reviewed annually.

The accreditation window will be open between January and April 2027

Accreditation activity will instead take place through Play-Cricket, alongside club affiliation. The Club Accreditation/ Clubmark portal will be decommissioned

For clubs completing an accreditation in 2027 please see the Club Accreditation Requirements here and the Club Constitution Checklist here

If you have any general questions regarding the Club Accreditation process then please contact clubsupport@cambscricket.org.uk 

If your club is not currently accredited but would like to be in the future, please email clubsupport@cambscricket.org.uk and we will add you to a waitlist so you can be given the opportunity to accredit as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime we would recommend reviewing the requirements and working towards meeting these to make life easier when the time comes for you to complete the process

Clubs that took part in the Club Accreditation pilot successfully in 2026 do not need to accredit in 2027
