The BCCI has set the calendar for the fifth edition of the Women’s Premier League.
The fifth WPL season will be played from 14 January to 7 February 2027, the BCCI announced. Franchises had until 28 September to submit retentions, and the player auction will be held at the Grand Hyatt in Kochi on 28 October.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru go in as defending champions. Mumbai Indians remain the most successful side, with titles in 2023 and 2025.
Unlike last year’s event, the BCCI has not described the 2027 auction as a mega auction. The format stays the same: each team plays the others twice, the table-toppers go straight to the final, and second and third meet in the Eliminator.
