The third edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) is set to begin on February 14, 2025. With fierce competition from the top teams, this season promises to be filled with exciting T20 action. The tournament will take place across multiple venues, marking a historic step for the league.
Last season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) made history by winning their first-ever WPL championship, a feat their men’s team had failed to achieve in 17 years. As defending champions, RCB will begin their campaign on the opening day against the Gujarat Giants in Vadodara. The tournament will run for the next 30 days, culminating in the final on March 15. Five teams will compete for the coveted trophy.
