The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made an announcement that the Mumbai leg of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 will now take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, rather than at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) Brabourne Stadium. The match schedule, including the Eliminator and the Final, remains the same. This decision was approved by the WPL Governing Council during their meeting on September 15, 2026.
CCI is set to host the inaugural ICC Women’s Champions Trophy 2027, beginning on February 14, 2027. As a result, there wouldn't be enough time for the pitches to recover between the end of the WPL and the start of the multi-nation tournament. This change in venue was approved following a request from the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Wankhede Stadium will host all 11 matches of the Mumbai leg, with the tournament kicking off in Vadodara on January 14. The first 11 matches are scheduled at Wankhede until January 24. The league is set to conclude in Mumbai on February 7, with all matches beginning at 7:30 PM IST.
