Across five iconic venues, fans will witness 31 matches packed with excitement, culminating in the grand finale on November 2, 2025. Let’s take a closer look at the five stadiums hosting Women’s World Cup 2025 matches.

• Key Matches: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh (Oct 20), India vs Bangladesh (final group game), Semi-Final 2 (Oct 30), and possibly the Final (Nov 2).

The DY Patil Stadium is one of India’s most modern venues and is remembered for hosting the inaugural IPL final in 2008.

Notably, this ground hosted India vs Australia Women’s T20I in 2022 and the historic India vs England Women’s Test in 2023, where Deepti Sharma took her maiden five-for.

For the first time, DY Patil will host ODIs in a Women’s World Cup, adding to its legacy.

Located in the northeast, this stadium has quickly risen in prominence since opening in 2012.

It hosted its first women’s international in 2019, and in men’s cricket, it’s remembered for Ruturaj Gaikwad’s stunning 123 vs Australia in 2023*. With its large seating capacity, it’s expected to deliver electric atmospheres for the World Cup.

ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam (India)

For women’s cricket, it staged its first ODI in 2010 vs England and a T20I in 2012 vs Australia. The 2025 World Cup will add another chapter with blockbuster matches like India vs Australia.
