The BCCI moves WPL 2027 matches in Mumbai from Brabourne/CCI venues to Wankhede Stadium. Coverage across multiple outlets says the change affects the Mumbai leg of the tournament, with the Wankhede venue set to host matches culminating in the final on February 7.
Most reporting attributes the relocation to pitch-management concerns ahead of the ICC Women’s Champions Trophy, which begins in mid-February 2027. ESPN Cricinfo notes an ICC request for extra time for the Brabourne pitches to recover because the ground will also host the Champions Trophy, which starts on February 14. Yahoo Sports and Times of India similarly frame the shift as a safeguard for the pitch before the international event.
Some outlets add operational details: Yahoo Sports specifies the WPL match window from January 14 to February 7 and describes the broader tournament schedule across Vadodara and Mumbai, while Free Press Journal highlights the possibility of the Eliminator and final moving to Wankhede and explains the short turnaround ahead of the Champions Trophy. Times of India states the tournament dates and fixtures remain unchanged.
