The Women’s Premier League’s 2027 mini‑auction is scheduled for October 28 at the Grand Hyatt in Kochi. Five franchises will compete for a total of 27 vacant slots drawn from a pool of 146 players – 119 Indian and 27 overseas – as they fine‑tune their squads ahead of the season’s launch.
With the league’s fifth edition slated to begin on January 14 and conclude on February 7, teams must balance the remaining roster spots with strategic acquisitions. The competition rules permit each side to include up to four foreign players in the playing eleven, with a fifth allowed when the player comes from an ICC associate nation, underscoring the growing international flavor of the tournament.
