Why This Season Is a Little Different
Unlike previous editions held in February–March, WPL 2026 moves to a January–February slot. The change helps avoid clashes with major women’s international fixtures, ensuring better player availability and more uninterrupted action for fans.
With packed venues, marquee clashes, and rising interest in women’s cricket, WPL 2026 is shaping up to be one of the league’s biggest seasons yet. If you’re planning to be there live, setting a reminder for ticket sales might not be a bad idea.
