The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai was added to the list of venues following the unavailability of the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. As per the new plan, the stadium will host up to five matches, including three group games, one semifinal and potentially the final.

Despite the venue change, the tournament dates remain unchanged. The other confirmed venues are ACA Stadium in Guwahati, Holkar Stadium in Indore, ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, and R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

ICC Chairman Jay Shah welcomed Navi Mumbai's inclusion in the list of venues and highlighted its rising status in the women’s cricket landscape.

“Navi Mumbai has emerged as a genuine home for women’s cricket in recent years. The support it has received during international fixtures and the Women’s Premier League has been remarkable. I am certain that the same energy will define the big matches of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup as it returns to India after 12 years,” Shah said in an official statement.

“This World Cup has the potential to be remembered as one of those defining milestones that shaped the sport’s future,” he added.

The revised schedule also confirmed that the first semifinal will be held in either Guwahati or Colombo on October 29, while the second semifinal will take place in Navi Mumbai on October 30. The final will be staged on November 2 in either Colombo or Navi Mumbai.
