WPL competition administrator Peter Mitchell said he will wait under the NSW Government provides more information about what will happen post August 28 before making a call on the competition.
"We're going to make our final decision after what the government says is going to happen after the 28th of August," he said.
Mitchell said the competition could be postponed to run to the end of September, but would be unable to go into October.
"Going into October, there's one team that has told me they wouldn't be able to field a team in October. Their players have got other commitments," he said.
"There's ways around it if the lockdown was lifted because we could play games on a Saturday and then a Sunday. We could work them in to having finals over two weekends if we could.
"But then you've got teams backing up on Sunday to play a team that didn't play on Saturday, so it's tricky."
WPL had one last round to play, which was meant to be played on August 14, the same day the stay-at-home orders came into affect for all of regional NSW, however, Dubbo had already been in lockdown because of a jump in community transmission of COVID-19.
The five-team finals series was meant to kick-off this Saturday.
Currently four games are left to be played before finals, with Panorama to host Dubbo Bulls, Lithgow Workmen's away to Parkes Cobras, Barnstoneworth United to tackle Orana Spurs and Macquarie United to clash with Orange Waratahs.
A decision is to be made whether the final round will be played or not.
Orana Spurs currently lead the competition, however, Waratahs could still claim the minor premiership if Spurs lose to Barnies and Waratahs down Macquarie.
Four of the top five spots in the finals are already booked with Barnies and Bulls joining the minor premier challengers.
