The auction is underway in Delhi.
The maiden mega auction of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) is underway in Delhi. All five franchises of the league, Mumbai Indians (MI), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Delhi Capitals (DC), UP Warriorz (UPW), and Gujarat Giants (GG), are engaging in fierce bidding wars to rope in key players in their squad for the WPL 2026. Fans will get live updates of the WPL 2026 auction here.
A huge total of 277 players across the globe are listed to go under the gavel. Notably, MI and DC have retained the maximum of five players and will not get any RTM options in the WPL auction 2026. RCB have retained four stars and can take advantage of only one RTM card.
However, UPW and GG, which had retained the fewest members from their previous squads and opted for major overhauls, have entered the bidding hall with the most number of RTM slots. They can use the RTM option to rope in four and three players, respectively.
