November 27th 2025.
In just a matter of hours, the highly anticipated WPL 2026 Auction will kick off, as all five franchises gear up to build their squads. With the recent victory of Indian players in the 2025 Women's World Cup, the competition to secure the best players in the auction pool is expected to be intense. This is the first mega auction in the tournament's history, since it was launched in 2022.
A total of 277 players will be vying for 73 available slots, with 194 of them being Indian players. Out of these slots, 50 will be reserved for local talent. Additionally, 83 overseas players have also entered the auction, but with only 23 slots available for foreign players, the competition is bound to be tough. It's worth noting that 19 players have registered with a base price of ₹50 lakh, while 11 have registered with a base price of ₹40 lakh. A staggering 88 players have set a base price of ₹30 lakh.
