The 2025 Women's Premier League (also known as WPL 2025 and branded as TATA WPL 2025) will be 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).

Royal Challengers Bangalore are the defending champions.[1]

Format

Five teams are scheduled to play 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.
