WPL 2025: Mark Your Calendars as Women’s Premier League 2025 Set for February Kickoff

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is all set to hit the screens on February 6, spanning over a month and culminating around March 9. This tournament, which features five teams competing in a round-robin format with 22 matches, will precede the IPL season scheduled to begin on March 14. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru, crowned champions in the previous edition, will kick off the season as defending champions.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently finalizing venues, with Lucknow and Ahmedabad emerging as potential hosts. Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket stadium, is a leading contender, although availability concerns persist. Meanwhile, Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, initially considered for hosting, are facing challenges due to packed schedules and unfavorable weather conditions.

The tournament’s schedule aims to provide an uninterrupted cricketing experience, with a tentative final date set between March 7 and 9. This timeline ensures a brief yet crucial gap before the IPL begins.

This season promises intense competition, building on the growing popularity of women’s cricket. With high-profile players like Smriti Mandhana and competitive franchises, the WPL 2025 is poised to deliver thrilling cricket action and attract a larger fan base.
