The ninth season of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) is scheduled to kickstart from October 19 and will conclude on December 2, 2023.

In the 2022 edition, the Adelaide Strikers finished second in the league stage and advanced to the Challenger, where they defeated Brisbane Heat. Later, the Strikers hammered the Sydey Sixers by 10 runs to claim their maiden WBBL title.

Perth Scorchers star Beth Mooney was the top scorer with 434 runs, while Megan Schutt topped the wickets leaderboard with 27 scalps.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian Women's team across all formats, is the only Indian player retained by the Melbourne Renegades in the Women's BBL. She is set to embark on her second season in the league.

The Women's Big Bash League 2023 will follow round-robin format, with eight teams competing in a total of 56 league-stage matches. The top-ranked team advances directly to the finals in the knockout stage, while the third and fourth-ranked teams will clash in the eliminator.

The victor of the eliminator will meet the second-ranked team in the Challenger to determine the second finalist.

The grand finale is set for December 2, featuring the winner of the Challenger and the team that secured top spot in the Women's Big Bash League's league stage.
