WPL 2026 Mega Auction: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially revealed the complete list of players who will be up for grabs at the Women’s Premier League 2026 mega auction. The event is scheduled to take place in New Delhi on Thursday, November 27, 2025, and excitement is already building.

A total of 17 players have been retained across the five WPL teams, with seven of them being overseas stars. Each franchise will walk into the auction with a ₹41.1 crore purse. UP Warriorz have the biggest spending power at ₹14.5 crore after choosing to keep only one player. Meanwhile, defending champions Mumbai Indians will enter the auction with ₹5.75 crore to work with.

Full Auction List Released for WPL 2026 Mega Auction

This year’s auction will feature 277 cricketers. Out of these, 194 are Indian players competing for 50 available spots, while the remaining 23 slots are open for overseas players. The action will begin with the marquee set at 3:30 PM IST.

As the WPL noted in its announcement, “The TATA WPL 2026 Auction list has been announced, with a total of 277 players vying for 73 available slots, with the auction set to take place in New Delhi on 27th November.”

They added, “The auction list includes 194 Indian players, comprising 52 capped and 142 uncapped players, who will go under the hammer for 50 slots, while 66 overseas capped players and 17 overseas uncapped players will look to fill the 23 available slots.”

Top Stars Lead the Marquee Players List

The marquee lineup features several big names, including Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh from India, along with international standouts like Sophie Devine, Sophie Ecclestone, Alyssa Healy, Amelia Kerr, Meg Lanning, and Laura Wolvaardt.

There are 19 players in the ₹50 lakh bracket, 11 in the ₹40 lakh tier, and 88 listed at ₹30 lakh. While most marquee players have chosen the top ₹50 lakh base price, Renuka Singh has entered at ₹40 lakh and Wolvaardt at ₹30 lakh, adding a bit of variety to the group.

The overseas pool is filled with high-quality all-rounders, spinners, and wicketkeeper-batters. With so much star power, the marquee set is expected to draw plenty of attention once the bidding gets underway.

Global Representation in the WPL 2026 Mega Auction Pool

India naturally has the largest number of players in the list, followed by Australia with 23 names. England has 22 players in the mix, while New Zealand and South Africa have 13 and 11, respectively. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka each have three shortlisted players. The UAE has two representatives, and Thailand and the USA have one each.

Franchises will enter the auction with different purse amounts and Right To Match (RTM) options. Gujarat Giants have ₹9 crore to spend, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will have ₹6.15 crore, and Delhi Capitals will enter with ₹5.70 crore.

UP Warriorz have the most RTMs with four available, followed by Gujarat Giants with three and RCB with one. Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have none left, as both teams have already retained their maximum of five players. DC held on to Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues, two key performers in India’s memorable World Cup victory.
