Mashal Sports and Disney Star established the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), an Indian professional kabaddi league, in 2014. The Indian Premier League (IPL) and the kabaddi competition at the 2006 Asian Games served as major inspiration for the PKL, which transformed the sport and elevated it to a popular and aspirational activity for both players and spectators.
The league is structured on a franchise system, featuring teams from different Indian towns. The PKL, which began with eight clubs and has now grown to twelve, is the most geographically represented kabaddi league. The league’s structure, which consists of a double round-robin stage and playoffs, guarantees spectators a competitive and exciting experience.
Kabaddi’s popularity has increased dramatically thanks to the PKL, which is now India’s second-most-watched sports league behind the IPL. The league’s improvements in broadcasting and rules have also been instrumental in raising the sport to worldwide standards. Puneri Paltan, who won their first championship in the 2023–24 season, are the current champions.
All in all, the Pakistan Premier League (PKL) has given kabaddi players a stage on which to display their skills and elevated the sport to a national level, drawing a wide range of spectators from both urban and rural regions.
