The fifth edition of the tournament is scheduled to run from January 14 to February 7, 2027. After the first mega auction ahead of the 2026 season, this mini-auction will give franchises a chance to fine-tune their squads, with budgets and remaining slots shaping their strategies.
The auction will feature all five franchises: Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and UP Warriorz. The teams will bid for players during the event to complete their squads for the upcoming season.
Accelerated bidding could begin after Player No. 50, with franchises nominating players for subsequent rounds and submitting names of unsold players for further consideration.
WPL 2027 Auction: Purse and Team Needs
UP Warriorz have eight slots to fill, including five Indian and three overseas players. They released Shweta Sehrawat after she scored 46 runs in six innings at a strike rate below 100 in 2026.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have five slots available, including two for overseas players, with ₹1.15 crore remaining. After releasing Grace Harris, they could reshape their top order. Delhi Capitals have five slots to fill, including one for an overseas player, and ₹1.10 crore left in their purse.
Key Players in Demand at WPL 2027 Auction
Australian all-rounders Grace Harris and Sophie Molineux could attract strong interest. Molineux missed the WPL 2025 season with a knee injury and withdrew from the 2026 edition. Australian all-rounder Jess Jonassen could also draw bids. The former DC player missed the 2026 season with a shoulder injury.
Only two English players, Sophia Dunkley and Kira Chathli, have registered for the auction. Alice Capsey, Dani Gibson, Lauren Filer and Linsey Smith are among those who have stayed away, partly because salaries are lower than those available in The Hundred.
