SaralnamaThe Women's Premier League 2026 is earmarked to commence in early January, reports CricTracker. The fourth season of WPL will likely start. It will have 22 matches over four weeks, ending by early February. This is earlier than previous seasons, which ran from February to March. The tournament now has a dedicated window in the women's cricket calendar. Venue allocation is still pending. The first season was in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, the second in Bengaluru and Delhi, and the third across Baroda, Bengaluru, Lucknow, and Mumbai. Details about the player auction, including date, venue, and salary cap, are yet to be announced. There's debate over introducing a mega-auction like the IPL.
