The 2025 Women's Premier League (also known as WPL 2025 and branded as TATAWPL 2025) was the third season of the Women's Premier League, a women's franchise Twenty20 cricket league organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The tournament, featuring five teams, was held from 14 February to 15 March 2025. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were the defending champions. [1]

Format

Five teams are playing in 2025. The tournament involves each team playing every other team twice in a home-and-away, double round-robin format. After the double round-robin league, the top three teams qualify for the playoffs based on aggregate points. The team with the highest points will automatically qualify for the final match. The second and third-placed teams will compete with each other (in a match titled "Eliminator"). The winner of the Eliminator match will move on to the final match.

Venues

The tournament was played across four venues: Bengaluru, Lucknow, Mumbai and Vadodara. [2]
