    The Women’s Premier League (WPL) has quickly become one of the most exciting events in women’s cricket, showcasing top domestic and international talent.

    WPL 2026 Auction Date and Schedule

    The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to conduct the WPL 2026 mega auction towards the end of November 2025. Although the exact date has not yet been officially announced, multiple credible reports confirm that the auction will happen in November, marking a significant event as the league enters its fourth season.

    This auction is crucial as it may be the first mega auction for the WPL, allowing teams to rebuild their squads significantly. The league itself is anticipated to kick off in early January 2026, possibly starting around January 6th or 8th, with matches likely spanning through January and February.

    Highlights of the 2026 Auction: What Sets It Apart from Previous Years

    The upcoming auction is being talked about as a Auction, implying substantial squad overhauls across the five franchises. This would be unlike previous seasons where retentions and minor changes dominated. The earlier auction and mega-auction format mean all teams can recalibrate their squads with both seasoned stars and emerging talents.

    However, not all franchises are in favor of a mega auction. Mumbai Indians (MI), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), and Delhi Capitals (DC) reportedly prefer retaining their core squads, having meticulously built competitive teams over the last three years. In contrast, Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz are eager for a revamp to enhance competitiveness.

    The WPL 2026 auction will highlight the balance between retention rules, auction purse limits, and the right-to-match (RTM) card options, all of which the WPL committee will finalize in the upcoming meetings. These parameters will define how much change is possible and which players stay or move teams.

    Expected Auction Details and Salary Cap

    While the BCCI has not released official auction purse or salary cap details, it is expected that the purse will be competitive enough to allow franchises to bid aggressively for both domestic and international players. Uncapped domestic players are also likely to feature prominently, as franchises seek to nurture future stars alongside established names.

    Player auctions in WPL have seen some eye-popping bids, with Smriti Mandhana remaining the most expensive player so far, purchased for ₹3.4 crore in 2023. Auctions typically include a mix of high-profile international stars and young talents who can change team fortunes.

    WPL Historical Overview: From Inception to Present

    The WPL started in 2023 with Mumbai Indians clinching the inaugural title. The second season in 2024 saw Royal Challengers Bangalore lift the trophy, while in 2025 Mumbai Indians reclaimed the championship. Each auction has progressively improved the quality and excitement of the league.

    Here is a quick recap of top bids from the WPL 2025 auction, showcasing the high stakes involved:

    Mumbai IndiansG. Kamalini₹10 Lac₹1.6 Crore
    RCBPrema Rawat₹10 Lac₹1.2 Crore
    Delhi CapitalsN. Charani₹10 Lac₹55 Lac

    Such numbers indicate that the 2026 auction could set new records and create thrilling bidding wars.

    Venues and Format for WPL 2026

    The 2026 WPL season is expected to continue the trend of expanding venues across India, giving fans across different cities the chance to witness high-quality women’s cricket live. Past seasons have been hosted in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Baroda, and Lucknow.

    The format will likely include a round-robin league phase followed by playoffs, with around 22 matches played over roughly 26-27 days.

    The WPL 2026 auction is poised to be a landmark event in women’s cricket, with a mega auction likely in November 2025 that will reshape team rosters ahead of a fast-approaching season start in January. As franchises prepare for potentially dramatic changes, fans can look forward to a thrilling build-up and an exciting 2026 WPL season.
