Just like the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Women's Premier League (WPL) has received a dedicated international window for the January-February period, starting from the upcoming season. This is a major boost for the league as it allows top overseas players to participate without scheduling conflict, raising the high quality of competition and making WPL 2026 even more exciting for fans.

The top overseas players, Ashleigh Gardener, Marizanne Kapp, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Sophie Devine, Meg Lanning, Sophie Ecclestone, Laura Wolvaardt, Beth Mooney, and others have a fan following in India, and their presence is set to boost the viewership, fan engagement, and overall excitement of the fans. RCB all–rounder Alyssa Healy withdrew from the WPL 2026 due to personal reasons, but the league still boasts a star-studded line-up in the upcoming season.
