WPL 2027 Matches Relocated to Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai

The BCCI has officially announced that the Mumbai leg of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 will now be hosted at Wankhede Stadium instead of Brabourne Stadium. This change comes in light of scheduling conflicts with the ICC Women’s Champions Trophy. The tournament will commence on January 14, 2027, in Vadodara and conclude in Mumbai on February 7, 2027. All matches will start at 7:30 PM IST, maintaining the original schedule.

BCCI Announces Venue Change for WPL 2027

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the matches for the Mumbai leg of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 will now take place at Wankhede Stadium, moving from the previously designated Brabourne Stadium at the Cricket Club of India (CCI). The schedule and match dates will remain as originally planned.

During a meeting on September 15, 2026, the WPL Governing Council had approved the venues and dates for the fifth edition of the league. According to the approved timeline, the Mumbai leg, which includes Matches 12 to 20, the Eliminator, and the Final, was set to occur at CCI from January 26 to February 7, 2027.

Due to the CCI also hosting the inaugural ICC Women’s Champions Trophy 2027 starting on February 14, there was concern that the time between the end of the WPL and the beginning of the multi-nation tournament would not allow adequate recovery for the pitches. This prompted a request from the International Cricket Council (ICC) to relocate the matches from CCI. The WPL Committee has agreed to this change, and Wankhede Stadium will now host all 11 matches of the Mumbai leg.

The WPL 2027 is set to kick off in Vadodara on January 14, with the first 11 matches taking place there until January 24. The tournament will wrap up in Mumbai on February 7, with all matches scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.
