The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), India’s second most celebrated sports extravaganza, made a triumphant return in October 2024. The tenth season was a spectacle on multiple fronts, from uncovering fresh talent to groundbreaking broadcasting achievements.
Spanning two thrilling months, the season saw a staggering 137 matches, including 132 league fixtures and 5 playoff clashes. The Haryana Steelers carved their name in history on December 29, 2024, clinching their maiden title in a nail-biting finale.
As anticipation builds, the twelfth edition of PKL is rumored to kick off in July 2025. The auction, held on May 31 and June 1, 2025, was a high-stakes drama where franchises battled it out for the cream of the crop.
