The Women’s Premier League 2026 player auction concluded on Thursday in New Delhi, with all five franchises picking a total of 67 players. Mallika Sagar once again served as the auctioneer for the mega event. The auction featured high-profile signings, surprising omissions, and multiple Right to Match (RTM) uses that shaped the teams ahead of the new season.

UP Warriorz made the biggest splash as they used their RTM card to secure all-rounder Deepti Sharma for ₹3.20 crore, making her the most expensive player of the auction. Mumbai Indians also strengthened their squad significantly, signing New Zealand star Amelia Kerr for ₹3 crore. One of the evening’s biggest surprises came when Australia captain Alyssa Healy, with a base price of ₹50 lakh, went unsold. In total, the auction produced a mix of big-name buys, domestic value picks, and notable players missing out on contracts.

The dates and venues for the upcoming Women’s Premier League (WPL) season have now been revealed. According to a report by Sports Tak, the 2026 edition is expected to kick off on January 8 or 9, with Mumbai and Baroda finalised as the two host cities.

One of the confirmed venues is the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, which recently witnessed history as the Indian women’s team defeated South Africa in the ODI World Cup final to lift the coveted trophy for the first time in their history.

Meanwhile, the Kotambi Stadium in Baroda is likely to serve as the second venue for the tournament. The ground is also set to host the first ODI between India and New Zealand on January 11.
