The 2025–26 Women's Senior T20 Trophy will be the 17th edition of the Women's Senior T20 Trophy, the domestic women's T20 competition in India.[1] It will take place from 8 October to 31 October 2025, with 37 teams divided into five groups.[2] The tournament formed part of the 2025–26 Indian domestic cricket season, announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in June 2025.[3] Mumbai, the defending champions.
Competition format[edit | edit source]
37 teams competed in the tournament, divided into two groups of eight and three groups of seven. Teams played each other side in their group once in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group qualified for the knockouts. The teams ranked one to six progressed straight to the quarter-finals, whilst the teams ranked seven to ten played pre-quarter-finals. Matches were played using a Twenty20 format.[4]
The groups worked on a points system with positions within the groups being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:
Win: 4 points.
Tie: 2 points.
Loss: 0 points.
No Result/Abandoned: 2 points.
If points in the final table were equal, teams were separated by most wins, then head-to-head record, then Net Run Rate.
