Cricket Australia has published this season's women's 50-over domestic tournament fixture with Canberra's Phillip Oval set to host four games.
The eight-round competition launches on January 15 with the final scheduled for March 27, putting to bed the uncertainty surrounding the women's one-day campaign.
The Meteors launch their season against Western Australia at the WACA Ground on January 15 before returning home to host powerhouse NSW at Phillip Oval four days later.
Two games in Adelaide and two in Victoria will follow, before the Meteors host Tasmania and South Australia at Cricket ACT's base on March 17 and 21 respectively.

Phillip Oval will also play host to a clash between Tasmania and South Australia on March 19.
The tournament will be played in four blocks with games at Phillip Oval, Hobart's Bellerive Oval, Junction Oval in Melbourne, Harry Trott Oval in Bendigo, Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide, and Perth's WACA Ground.
"The WNCL provides our domestic players with the opportunity to continue their development and push for national selection which is especially crucial with a home Ashes and one-day World Cup scheduled for next summer," CA executive general manager of high performance Drew Ginn said.
"It's been really pleasing to have been able to deliver as much domestic cricket as we have so far this season and we're equally committed to doing everything we can to complete all eight rounds of the WNCL."
