All 11 Mumbai Leg Fixtures of WPL 2027 Set for Wankhede Venue

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has officially redirected all Mumbai‑leg games of the 2027 Women's Premier League to the Wankhede Stadium, moving them away from the originally announced Brabourne Stadium. No adjustments have been made to the existing match calendar.

The alteration was foreseen after the ICC reiterated its policy that a venue must be fully under ICC jurisdiction fifteen days prior to the start of any tournament. Earlier on Saturday, media outlets reported that the second phase of the league could be relocated to Wankhede, a prediction now confirmed.

The underlying driver for this decision is the ICC Women’s Champions Trophy scheduled for 14‑28 February 2027, which will be contested at Brabourne and the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium. Because the Champions Trophy will commence only a short time after the WPL concludes, there is insufficient opportunity to re‑condition the Brabourne pitch for the league’s final matches, prompting the ICC’s request for an alternative site.

The WPL governing committee has given the green light, and all eleven matches—covering league games numbered 12 to 20, the eliminator, and the final—will be played at Wankhede Stadium from 26 January through 7 February 2027.

The tournament’s opening day falls on 14 January in Vadodara, featuring a face‑off between defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore and two‑time champions Mumbai Indians. The first eleven fixtures will be hosted in Vadodara until 24 January, after which the competition will shift to Mumbai. Every match is slated to start at 7:30 pm Indian Standard Time. The league stage will finish on 3 February, the eliminator on 5 February, and the top‑ranked side in the points table will qualify directly for the final scheduled on 7 February. This will be the inaugural appearance of the Wankhede Stadium as a host for WPL matches.
