WPL 2026 will run from January 9 to February 5 and will be played across two cities, Navi Mumbai and Vadodara. The announcement for the fourth season of the WPL was made by the league chairman Jayesh George at the start of the auction in Delhi on Thursday.

The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai - where India recently won the Women's ODI World Cup final - will start the tournament and host the first leg of the WPL. The league will then move to the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara where the final will be played on February 5. This is the first time the WPL will be played in the January-February window; the first three seasons were played in February-March just before the IPL. This will also be first time the WPL won't clash with any international fixtures.
