The fourth season of the Women's Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) season 4 will begin on September 6 2025, in Guyana. The final will take place on September 17, according to ESPNcricinfo.

Each of the seven matches, including the final one, will be played at Providence Stadium. Trinbago Knight Riders, Barbados Royals, and the home team, Guyana Amazon Warriors, will compete in the three-way tournament. They will have two league matches against each opponent, for a total of four games.

The six league games are spread across 11 days, with the final scheduled just one day after the final league-stage match. All matches are afternoon games. Four fixtures, including the final, start at 2 pm.

Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis, hosted the first WCPL event in 2022. The Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago hosted the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

The Royals have been the tournament's top side thus far, winning two titles in 2023 and 2024 and finishing as runners-up in 2022. The Knight Riders were the 2022 champions and the 2024 losing finalists. The Amazon Warriors finished third in 2022 and 2024 and second in 2023.

The tournament's highest run-scorer is Royals' Hayley Matthews (424). She is also the highest wicket-taker (23).

Chris Dehring, CEO of Cricket West Indies, highlighted the growing stature of the tournament.

"Women's cricket continues to grow year on year, and the WCPL is a hugely important part of our cricketing calendar. We are looking forward to seeing the best Caribbean talent play alongside fantastic players from around the world in what we are sure will be an excellent event," Chris Dehring said.

Great to see women's cricket getting more attention globally! 🇮🇳 Hope BCCI takes notes and organizes more women's IPL matches. Our Indian players like Harmanpreet and Smriti would benefit from such tournaments. Caribbean cricket always has that special flair!

The schedule seems a bit stretched with just 3 teams playing over 11 days. They could have added one more team to make it more competitive. But still, any cricket is good cricket! Will try to catch the matches on Hotstar if available.

Hayley Matthews is a beast! 424 runs AND 23 wickets? That's proper all-round performance. Indian women's team should study her technique. Guyana is a beautiful place for cricket - hope they get good crowds despite being afternoon matches in that heat.

Why no Indian players in WCPL? We have so much talent that could gain international exposure. BCCI should negotiate with Cricket West Indies for player exchanges. Our women cricketers deserve more platforms like this beyond just the Women's IPL.

The timing is perfect for Indian viewers! 2pm in Guyana means around 11:30pm IST - can catch the matches after dinner. Hope they maintain the same energy as men's CPL. Barbados Royals seem unstoppable - back-to-back titles is no joke!

Love seeing cricket grow beyond traditional powerhouses. But wish they'd invest more in marketing - many cricket fans in India don't even know about WCPL. The tournament needs better visibility to attract sponsors and grow the women's game globally.
