3rd September, 2024, Mumbai: Mashal Sports, organisers of Pro Kabaddi League, announced that PKL Season 11 will begin on October 18, 2024. After successfully completing ten seasons of the Pro Kabaddi League earlier this year, the world’s biggest kabaddi league will embark on a new phase in October. 

In Season 11, the Pro Kabaddi League will return to the three-city caravan format. The 2024 edition will commence at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on October 18, before moving to the Noida Indoor Stadium for the second leg from November 10. The third leg will take place at the Balewadi Badminton Stadium in Pune, from December 3 onwards.

The Pro Kabaddi League Season 11 Auction was held in Mumbai from 15-16 August 2024, with eight players going for over INR 1 crore, a new record in the league’s history. 

Mashal Sports and Disney Star have built PKL into one of the most successful sports leagues in India. Organized and conducted by Mashal under its sanctioned agreement with the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI), the Pro Kabaddi League has transformed the image of India’s indigenous sport of Kabaddi and its athletes nationally as well as across the globe. After witnessing the participation of many of their players in PKL, several Kabaddi-playing nations have strengthened their domestic Kabaddi programs as well.

Uday Shankar, CEO of STAR India, says, “We will look at international players who are veterans or emerging to be part of the team. However, we are also looking at the availability of some star players, as most of them have a heavy schedule and, for instance, are booked for eight-to-10 months in the European Premier League. It is not a question of money, but we have to see whether we can get them to play a few games.”

Will STAR India's move of buying stake in Indian Super League be a game-changer?

“For far too long, the Indian sports fan has quietly waited for this revolution on the cusp of which we stand today. Our objective is nothing short of creating a movement around football in India. We want to put India on the global map,” said Uday Shankar, CEO, STAR India.
