About the WPL
The Women’s Premier League is the BCCI’s franchise T20 competition, first played in 2023. Five teams compete: Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz. Squads mix India’s leading players with overseas stars, and players join teams through an auction.
The league stage is followed by playoffs: the table-topper goes straight to the final, while the second- and third-placed teams meet in the Eliminator for the other place.
Mumbai Indians (2023, 2025) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (2024, 2026) have won two titles each. Delhi Capitals reached each of the first four finals but are still waiting for a first title.
