The BCCI has confirmed that all 11 Mumbai matches of the Women's Premier League 2027, including the Eliminator and the final, will now be staged at Wankhede Stadium instead of Brabourne Stadium. The change, announced on November 15, follows a request from the International Cricket Council, which asked that Brabourne be kept free for the inaugural Women's Champions Trophy because its pitches needed time to recover after the WPL.
The fifth edition of the WPL begins in Vadodara on January 14, when defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru face Mumbai Indians in the opener. The competition moves to Mumbai from January 26, when Royal Challengers Bengaluru meet Mumbai Indians again at Wankhede, which becomes the sole venue for the remaining matches. Delhi Capitals and UP Warriorz close the league stage there on February 3, the Eliminator is scheduled for February 5 and the final for February 7.S2
The Women's Champions Trophy runs from February 14 to February 28, 2027, with Brabourne Stadium and Vadodara sharing hosting duties. The BCCI said that no previously announced WPL fixture dates have been altered by the switch, so fans, broadcasters and franchises can keep to the original calendar.S2S1
