WPL 2026: Where & how to watch Women's Premier League Season 4
The Women’s Premier League 2026 will begin on January 9 in Navi Mumbai.
The Women’s Premier League (WPL 2026) arrives at a defining moment for Indian women’s cricket, riding the momentum of a historic ODI World Cup triumph and entering its fourth season with renewed confidence and credibility.
No longer a league struggling for recognition, the WPL has firmly established itself as a premium global competition, combining top-tier talent, commercial growth, and genuine fan engagement.
The Mumbai Indians, reigning champions, will look to complete a hat-trick this season. The most successful team in the competition by some distance has assembled another strong squad and will look to repeat their heroics.
Delhi Capitals, WPL’s most consistent team, have reached finals in every edition and are yet to win the trophy. Under a new skipper, Jemimah Rodrigues, DC Women’s will hope they finally reap rewards for their discipline.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been jolted early, with the withdrawal of their ace all-rounder Ellyse Perry. RCBW will now turn to their captain, Smriti Mandhana, and keeper Richa Ghosh to do the heavy lifting with the bat. Grace Harris and Nadine de Klerk have proven match winners, as they aim to build on their 2024 trophy.
UP Warriors and Gujarat Giants have made the playoffs just once and would hope for a turnaround after the mega auction, having spent the most. GG will play in front of their local fans for the first time, while UPW will look to perform well under the leadership of Australian legend Meg Lanning.
