Five teams – Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, Delhi Capitals Women, Mumbai Indians Women, Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz Women will be taking part in WPL 2026 Auction.
For those unaware, Harmanpreet Kaur led Mumbai Indians Women to their second WPL title in 2025, strengthening their reputation as one of the league’s top-performing sides.
On the other hand, Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals Women have been one of the most consistent teams in WPL history, yet they are still chasing their maiden trophy. Despite reaching the final in all three editions so far, they have had to settle for the runner-up position each time, a streak they will be eager to break in the upcoming season.
In previous editions, MI Women clinched the inaugural title in 2023, while RCB Women lifted the trophy in 2024 under the leadership of Smriti Mandhana.
