The Women’s Premier League (WPL) is set for an earlier start in its fourth season, with defending and two-time champions Mumbai Indians taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the tournament opener on January 9 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the full schedule on Thursday, confirming that the 2026 edition will run from January 9 to February 5 and be hosted across two venues: Navi Mumbai and Vadodara.

This season marks several firsts for the league. For the first time, the WPL will be played entirely in the January-February window, shifting from its usual February-March slot. The final will also be held on a weekday — Thursday (February 5), instead of the traditional weekend. The move ensures that the WPL does not clash with major international cricket fixtures, unlike previous editions.
