The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday announced that the Mumbai leg of the Women’s Premier League 2027 will now be held at the Wankhede Stadium instead of the Brabourne Stadium, CCI. The dates and fixtures will remain unchanged.

The WPL Governing Council approved the original venues and dates for the fifth edition at its meeting on September 15. Under the then approved schedule, the Mumbai leg, comprising match numbers 12 to 20, the Eliminator and the Final, was to be played at Brabourne between January 26 and February 7, 2027.

As CCI is also scheduled to host the inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy, commencing on February 14, 2027, the ICC appealed that the interval between the conclusion of the WPL and the start of the multi-nation tournament would not provide sufficient time for the pitches to recover.

WPL 2027 will begin in Vadodara on January 14, with the first 11 matches scheduled at the venue until January 24. The tournament will conclude in Mumbai on February 7, with all matches across both venues scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM IST.
