What Is the Uttarakhand Women’s Premier League?
The Uttarakhand Women’s Premier League is the women’s T20 competition played under the Uttarakhand Premier League.
The league is organised under the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand, or CAU. It started in 2024 as part of the first UPL season.
Its main purpose is to give women cricketers from Uttarakhand more competitive T20 cricket. The league brings together senior players, younger state players and uncapped talent in the same tournament.
It also gives players a chance to perform in front of a wider audience through live broadcasts and streaming.
The Women’s UPL should not be confused with the national Women’s Premier League, commonly called the WPL. The WPL is India’s national franchise competition. The Women’s UPL is a state-level Uttarakhand tournament.

The women’s competition forms part of the same Season 3 event.

The official 2025 women’s tournament used a compact round-robin format followed by a final between the top two teams.
The 2026 competition again has four teams, but the exact Season 3 women’s format should be treated as confirmed only when the final fixtures and tournament rules are published.
How the Women’s UPL Format Worked in 2025
The 2025 season gives useful context for how the women’s competition has operated.
Four teams played a single round-robin league.
Each team faced every other team once, creating six league matches.
The top two teams in the points table then qualified for the final.
That produced seven women’s matches in total:
- 6 league matches
- 1 final
Tehri Queens finished the league stage unbeaten with three wins and then defeated Haridwar Storm in the final.
The league can retain or change this format for 2026, so fans should check the official Season 3 rules once announced.
Uttarakhand Women’s Premier League 2026 Venue
The Women’s UPL 2026 will take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Raipur, Dehradun.

Playing the tournament at one venue keeps travel simple for the teams and gives players time to adjust to the same ground and conditions.

Tehri Queens won the title.
2026
The competition again has four teams, but the line-up has changed:

This gives Season 3 a refreshed field while keeping the four-team structure introduced in 2025.
Women’s UPL Prize Money
The Cricket Association of Uttarakhand announced a clear prize structure for the 2025 women’s tournament.
| Award | 2025 Prize Money |
|---|---|
| Women’s Champion | ₹7 lakh |
| Women’s Runner-Up | ₹3 lakh |
| Women’s Player of the Series | ₹25,000 |
These figures apply to Season 2.
The 2026 women’s prize money has not yet been clearly confirmed in the current Season 3 information. Fans should wait for an official announcement before assuming the 2025 amounts will remain unchanged.
Women’s UPL Player Draft
The Women’s UPL uses a player draft to build the teams.
In 2025, squads included players from several categories, including senior, Under-23, Under-19 and uncapped groups.
Season 3 also uses a draft system.
The 2026 player draft has now been completed, and all four women’s teams have finalised their 16-player squads.
This structure gives experienced state players a chance to share teams with younger players who are still moving through Uttarakhand’s cricket pathway.

Here are the Key Players to watch in women’s UPL T20

She was unbeaten during Mussoorie Thunders’ successful chase in the inaugural 2024 final and now joins Bageshwar Aerial as their icon player.

Why the Women’s Uttarakhand Premier League Matters
The Women’s UPL gives Uttarakhand players more competitive T20 cricket without requiring them to leave the state for every opportunity.
The league also gives younger players a chance to play with experienced cricketers.
A strong UPL performance does not guarantee selection at a higher level, but it gives players more match footage, statistics and exposure.
That can help selectors and teams evaluate players under real match pressure.
The competition also gives local supporters a dedicated women’s tournament to follow alongside the men’s UPL.
Women’s UPL vs Women’s Premier League
The two competitions have similar names, but they are different tournaments.
| Detail | Women’s UPL | Women’s Premier League |
|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Women’s Uttarakhand Premier League | Women’s Premier League |
| Level | State-level competition | National franchise competition |
| State/Region | Uttarakhand | India |
| Organiser | Cricket Association of Uttarakhand | BCCI |
| Format | T20 | T20 |
| Main Player Pool | Uttarakhand players | Indian and overseas players |
The Women’s UPL acts as a competitive state platform. The national WPL sits at a much higher franchise level.
Conclusion: The Women’s Uttarakhand Premier League 2026 is set to bring four women’s teams together during UPL Season 3 in Dehradun.
Mussoorie Queens, Bageshwar Aerial, Pithoragarh Hurricanes and Dehradun Warriors have completed their squads.
Nandini Kashyap, Prema Rawat, Raghvi Bist and Sweta Verma are the four icon players.
The wider UPL tournament runs from September 21 to October 1, 2026, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
The full women’s match schedule and 2026 prize-money details still need a clear Season 3 announcement. Once those details are published, the fixture table, points table and final information can be updated.
For now, Season 3 has all four squads in place and is ready to add another chapter to a women’s competition that has already produced two different champions in its first two years.
