Every WPL champion from 2023 to 2026 with the runner-up and margin. Delhi Capitals have played all four finals and lost every one.

Four Women's Premier League seasons have been played, from 2022/23 to 2025/26, and each one ended with a final.

- Two clubs have won. Mumbai Indians took the titles in 2022/23 and 2024/25.
- The Bengaluru club took the other two — as Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2023/24 and as Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2025/26. That is one club under two spellings, not two winners.
- Delhi Capitals have played in all four finals and lost all four.
- In 2022/23 Delhi finished the league stage on a net run rate of +1.856 — the highest single-season figure in any points table we publish, for any competition — and still lost the final.

## Every WPL final, 2023 to 2026

The league has run four seasons, and the open archive holds all four finals. The table gives the champion, the beaten side, the margin, the host city and the date the match was played. Each row is read from the ball-by-ball file of the match itself, so the margin is the one the scorers wrote down rather than one copied from a summary.

**Every WPL final, 2023 to 2026**

| Season | Champion | Runner-up | Won by | City | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025/26 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Delhi Capitals | 6 wkts | Vadodara | 5 Feb 2026 |
| 2024/25 | Mumbai Indians | Delhi Capitals | 8 runs | Mumbai | 15 Mar 2025 |
| 2023/24 | Royal Challengers Bangalore | Delhi Capitals | 8 wkts | Delhi | 17 Mar 2024 |
| 2022/23 | Mumbai Indians | Delhi Capitals | 7 wkts | Mumbai | 26 Mar 2023 |

**Titles and losing finals by club**

| Club | Titles | Finals lost | Seasons won |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mumbai Indians | 2 | 0 | 2022/23, 2024/25 |
| Royal Challengers Bangalore | 1 | 0 | 2023/24 |
| Royal Challengers Bengaluru | 1 | 0 | 2025/26 |
| Delhi Capitals | 0 | 4 | — |

Only three clubs have appeared in a WPL final at all, and one of them appears in every single one. Mumbai Indians are unbeaten in the two finals they have played. The Bengaluru club is unbeaten in its two. Delhi Capitals have played four and lost four, which is the shortest way to describe the first four years of this competition.

One scheduling detail is worth flagging, because it changes how the seasons are labelled. The first three finals were played in the second half of March. The 2025/26 final was played on 5 February 2026, six weeks earlier in the year than any of the others. We file seasons by the split label the archive uses, so a search for the 2026 winner and a search for the 2025/26 winner return the same match.

## Delhi Capitals: four finals, four defeats

Four seasons, four finals, four losses. No club in any competition we cover has that record over its first four years, and the way the four defeats arrived leaves very little to point at.

The first was in Mumbai in March 2023, by seven wickets. The second was at home in Delhi a year later, by eight wickets, the heaviest of the four. The third was back in Mumbai in 2025 and it is the only one that was close: eight runs, and the only WPL final so far not settled by a chase. The fourth came in Vadodara in February 2026, by six wickets.

The league stage makes it stranger. Delhi Capitals topped the WPL table in 2022/23, in 2023/24 and in 2024/25 — three seasons out of four — and lost the final each time. Only in 2025/26 did the side that led the league stage go on to win the title, and that side was Royal Challengers Bengaluru. So in three of four seasons the best team over the league stage was beaten in the last match, and it was the same team every time.

That is a small sample and we are not going to build a theory on it. What it does mean is that the WPL honours board and the WPL points tables tell two different stories, and anyone reading only the first will get a poor idea of who has been the strongest side. The season-by-season record, including the positions behind those league-stage finishes, sits on the [Delhi Capitals page](/teams/wpl-delhi-capitals), and the finals they lost are on the [Mumbai Indians](/teams/wpl-mumbai-indians) page from the other side.

## The best net run rate on our site belongs to a losing side

Here is our own calculation, and we have not seen it anywhere else. In 2022/23 Delhi Capitals finished the WPL league stage with a net run rate of **+1.856**. That is the highest single-season net run rate in any points table we publish, across every league and tournament on the site — not just the highest in the WPL. Delhi lost the final that season by seven wickets.

Net run rate measures how heavily a side wins and loses across a whole league stage, so a figure that size means Delhi were not merely winning, they were winning by distances nobody else in the competition managed. It carried no weight at all in a one-off match. If you want the arithmetic behind the number, we set it out in [our guide to net run rate](/guides/how-net-run-rate-works).

The same season holds the other end of the range. Gujarat Giants finished 2022/23 on **-2.22**, the worst net run rate in the WPL to date. A first season with a spread that wide from top to bottom is normal for a new competition, and it narrowed afterwards. The [Gujarat Giants page](/teams/wpl-gujarat-giants) carries their figures for every season alongside it, and the full 2022/23 standings are on the [2022/23 points table](/tables/wpl-2022-23).

## Bangalore and Bengaluru are the same club

The winners column reads Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Read quickly, that looks like three different champions. It is two.

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are one club. The name was respelled to match the city's official name, and the archive files matches under whichever spelling was in use at the time. So the 2023/24 title and the 2025/26 title belong to the same side, and the correct answer to "who has won the most WPL titles" is that two clubs are level on two each.

We keep both spellings as separate pages — [Royal Challengers Bangalore](/teams/wpl-royal-challengers-bangalore) and [Royal Challengers Bengaluru](/teams/wpl-royal-challengers-bengaluru) — because that is how the seasons are recorded, and merging them would quietly rewrite the source. The pages say so at the top. The same problem turns up in the men's competition, where the identical rename runs through a much longer history; we handle it the same way in our [IPL winners list](/blog/ipl-winners-list).

This is the single most common mistake in WPL winners lists. Splitting one club into two invents a champion that never existed; merging two genuinely different clubs does the opposite. Both errors come from treating the name as the identity instead of the club.

## What the toss was worth in these finals

In three of the four WPL finals, the side that won the toss lost the match. The exception is 2025/26, when Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and the title.

Delhi Capitals called correctly in the first three finals. They batted first in 2022/23 and again in 2023/24, and fielded first in 2024/25. All three ended in defeat. In 2025/26 Bengaluru won the toss and chose to field, and won by six wickets.

Three matches out of four is not evidence of anything. Four finals is far too small a sample to say the toss hurts you, and we would rather write that plainly than turn a coin flip into a trend. The one thing the record does show is a preference: three of the four captains who won the toss in a final chose to chase, and the two most recent finals were both won by the side batting second.

## How we read these results

A champion is taken from the match the archive marks as the final. The outcome field names the winner and gives the margin with it. That is one match per season, and it is either in the record or it is not. For the WPL it is present for all four seasons.

Points tables need much more. A table is only correct if every league match is counted, because a single missing game shifts both the points and the net run rate. The WPL is the only competition on this site where that condition holds for every season we cover: four seasons published out of four, no gaps and no missing fixtures. Each season carries 22 matches in the archive, the same number every year, which is what makes the four tables directly comparable.

The full set is on our [WPL points tables hub](/leagues/wpl), and the individual seasons are at [2023/24](/tables/wpl-2023-24), [2024/25](/tables/wpl-2024-25) and [2025/26](/tables/wpl-2025-26). For most other competitions we hold a complete league stage for some seasons and not others, and those hubs list the gaps with the reason attached; you can see which competitions are covered from the [league index](/leagues), and every club we track from the [team index](/teams).

One limit is worth stating. No WPL season so far has produced a side that went unbeaten through the league stage, and none has produced a side that failed to win a match. Everything on this page is drawn from four seasons, which is enough to state records and not enough to establish patterns. Where we have only four data points, we say four.

## Where the numbers come from

All four finals, the margins, the cities, the dates and the toss decisions come from the open [Cricsheet](https://cricsheet.org/) archive, published under the Open Data Commons Attribution License 1.0. We parse the ball-by-ball files ourselves. The league positions and net run rates are computed from those same files into the points tables linked above; nothing here is copied from another list.

Club names are given as the archive writes them for that season, which is why the 2023/24 champion appears as Royal Challengers Bangalore and the 2025/26 champion as Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Fixtures and season details can be checked against the official [WPL site](https://www.wplt20.com/) and the match archives at [ESPNcricinfo](https://www.espncricinfo.com/). Where their spelling of a club differs from ours, the difference is the era the name belongs to, not a different team.

## Questions people ask

### Who has won the most WPL titles?

Two clubs are level on two each. Mumbai Indians won in 2022/23 and 2024/25. The Bengaluru club won in 2023/24 as Royal Challengers Bangalore and in 2025/26 as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which is the same side under two spellings.

### Have Delhi Capitals ever won the WPL?

No. They have reached all four finals played so far and lost all four — by seven wickets in 2022/23, eight wickets in 2023/24, eight runs in 2024/25 and six wickets in 2025/26.

### Has Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the WPL?

Yes, twice: in 2023/24 under the Bangalore spelling and in 2025/26 under the Bengaluru spelling. Both titles belong to one club.

### What was the closest WPL final?

Eight runs, in 2024/25, when Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals in Mumbai. It is the only WPL final so far decided by runs rather than by wickets.

### Which WPL seasons do you have full points tables for?

All of them. Four seasons published out of four, with no missing matches — the only competition on the site where that is currently true.
