The WCPL is entering an exciting new era, with the official fixtures for the 2026 tournament now live and a bold new vision set to redefine women’s cricket across the Caribbean with eight matches set to take place at the iconic Kensington Oval, Barbados.
The WCPL has been re-engineered from the ground up to create a platform that celebrates and amplifies the unique voice of Caribbean women – a voice that is distinct, powerful and deserving of its own spotlight.
At the heart of the new WCPL is a commitment to putting Caribbean women centre stage, inspiring the next generation of female athletes by showing them that there is a place waiting for them at the highest level of sport.
The tournament’s refreshed identity is built around three core values: empowerment, the will to win and close community. These themes are captured in the league’s new creative platform, “She’s In”, which will be promoted through a dedicated advertising campaign across female-focused social media channels throughout the region.
The 2026 WCPL will take place entirely in Barbados, with all matches being played over a ten-day festival of cricket during the first two weeks of September. Four franchises will compete for the title:
- Barbados Tridents
- Guyana Amazon Warriors
- Jamaica Empress
- Trinbago Knight Riders
The newly created Jamaica Empress will represent Jamaica as part of the competition’s refreshed identity and growing commitment to celebrating female excellence throughout the Caribbean.
More than just a cricket tournament, every WCPL matchday will offer a vibrant community experience. Fans can enjoy dedicated children’s activity zones, cricket skills sessions, health and wellness checks, and opportunities to discover products and services from female entrepreneurs from across the region.
Each WCPL match will be designed as a celebration of sport, community and opportunity, creating an environment where women and girls can connect, participate and be inspired.
“The WCPL is about much more than what happens on the field,” said Pete Russell, WCPL CEO. “We are creating a platform where women can be celebrated, communities can come together, and young girls can see clear pathways to success in sport and beyond.”
Hayley Matthews, WCPL player, said: “I’ve seen firsthand the impact of WCPL on women across the region. It’s powerful and far-reaching. It illuminates the potential in every girl, giving them not just visibility, but something to believe in and a dream to chase.”
With the 2026 fixtures now available, fans can begin planning for what promises to be the biggest and most impactful edition of the tournament yet.
And this is only the beginning.
Looking ahead to 2027, the WCPL is preparing to take the next step in its evolution, with plans to welcome teams from outside the Caribbean and establish the tournament as a truly global competition.
The fixtures are live. The movement has begun.
