Tickets for the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) matches in Navi Mumbai and Vadodara will go on sale from December 26 at 6 pm IST, as stated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Tournament Venues
The WPL 2026 will take place across two locations: DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai and BCA Stadium in Vadodara.
“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named District as the official ticketing agency for the fourth edition of the exciting TATA WPL. Tickets can be purchased from the official WPL website, WPL app on Android and iOS, and also on the District website,” the BCCI mentioned.
Match Schedule
The tournament is set to commence on January 9 when defending champions Mumbai Inddigihunt, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, will host the 2024 winners Royal Challengers Bengaluru, captained by Smriti Mandhana. Navi Mumbai will host 11 matches until January 17, after which the action will transition to Vadodara for the remaining 11 fixtures, including the playoffs.
Gujarat Giants will kick off the Vadodara leg with a match against RCB, followed by a rematch of the 2025 final between Delhi Capitals, led by Jemimah Rodrigues, and Mumbai Inddigihunt. Once the league stage concludes on February 1, the Eliminator, featuring the second- and third-placed teams, will take place on February 3. The top team will advance directly to the final, scheduled for February 5.
New Schedule Format
This season marks the first time the WPL is being conducted in the January-February window, avoiding overlaps with major women’s international cricket fixtures after three seasons were held in the February-March timeframe.
Team Highlights
Two-time winners Mumbai Inddigihunt enter as defending champions, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the only other team to have lifted the WPL trophy. Delhi Capitals have finished as runners-up three times, with Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz yet to make it to a final.
The upcoming 2026 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) is the fourth edition of the event, which began in 2023. The Mumbai Inddigihunt Women remain the most successful team, having won two titles in three years, while the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is the other team to have claimed the WPL title.
