Cricket fans, get ready because the much-awaited Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is here! This third edition of India’s biggest franchise-based women’s cricket league is set to be bigger, better, and more exciting than ever. With matches being played across four venues—the highest number so far—the tournament is set to take the game to new heights.

The WPL 2025 schedule kicks off on Friday, 14th February, with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Gujarat Giants in a thrilling opening match. Over the next month, five top teams will battle it out in a round-robin format, leading up to the grand final on Saturday, 15th March.

From the full WPL 2025 schedule to the complete list of WPL teams, we’ve got all the details you need to keep up with the action. Whether you're a die-hard cricket fan or just excited about seeing some of the world’s best women cricketers in action, this guide has everything covered.

WPL 2025: Teams and Venues

The WPL teams competing this year are the same five powerhouses from the previous editions:

Gujarat Giants (Captain- Ashleigh Gardner)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Captain- Smriti Mandhana)
Mumbai Indians (Captain- Harmanpreet Kaur)
Delhi Capitals (Captain- Meg Lanning)
UP Warriorz (Captain- Alyssa Healy)

What makes WPL 2025 even more special is that matches will be played across four venues instead of just two, making the tournament even more accessible for fans across the country. Here’s where the action will unfold:

Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

These diverse locations mean a wider reach for women’s cricket, and fans across multiple cities will get a chance to experience the magic of WPL live.

WPL 2025: Tournament Format

The tournament will follow the usual round-robin format:

Each of the five teams will play two matches against every other team in the league stage.
A win earns two points, while in case of an abandoned match, both teams get one point each.
After the league stage, the top team qualifies directly for the final.
The second and third-placed teams will play an Eliminator, with the winner securing a spot in the final.

In case of rain or an abandoned knockout match, the team that finished higher in the league standings will automatically progress. This keeps the competition fair while rewarding consistency throughout the tournament.
