Women's Premier League 2027: Auction date, place, and new venues detailed
WPL 2027 auction is tentatively set for Oct 28 in Kochi. BCCI plans a Jan- Feb window, eyeing Varanasi alongside Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium and Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
The Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction is expected to take place in October, marking a shift from the usual late-November to December windows. The venue for the auction is currently set in Kochi, rather than the traditional late-year schedule. The league is planning to establish a new venue in Varanasi, which is currently under construction.
The stadium, named after the city of Kashi, is being built at a cost of ₹450 crore and is expected to host a Ranji Trophy match as a readiness test before the WPL season begins. The new venue will feature nine turf pitches, 14 pitches in total, and a drainage system designed to handle heavy rainfall. The WPL 2027 season will see the return of the five existing franchises, Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz, alongside the new venue in Varanasi.
