The T20 league will begin on January 9.
The fourth edition of the Women’s Premier League will kickstart on January 9, 2026, at the DY Patil Stadium. Two-time champions, Mumbai Indians (MI), will set the ball rolling against the WPL 2024 winners, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Fans will find out the details of WPL 2026 live streaming in India here.
After three successful seasons, the WPL 2026 is set to attract more attention from fans around the globe, especially after India’s recent triumph in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025. It will be exciting to see the Women in Blue back in action, but divided into different franchises. 20 group-stage fixtures will be followed by two knockout games before the summit clash.
The league’s maiden mega auction helped all five teams to build a strong, new core ahead of the upcoming season. While MI and RCB would want to continue their winning run, three-time finalist Delhi Capitals (DC) will be hoping to finally claim the title under their new skipper, Jemimah Rodrigues.
The other two sides, UP Warriorz (UPW) and Gujarat Giants (GG), would also look to produce noteworthy performances, following an underwhelming record in the tournament’s history so far.
