Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 player auction set for May 31-June 1
Mashal Sports is excited to announce the upcoming Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 player auction, scheduled to take place on May 31 and June 1 in Mumbai. The Season 12 auction comes after the successful conclusion of Panchkula Season 11, which saw Haryana Steelers win the trophy for the first time after beating three-time champions Patna Pirates in the final on December 29, 2024.
The league’s journey began in 2014, and over the past 11 seasons, there have been 8 different champions. Season 11 of Panchkula – held from October 18, 2024 to December 29, 2024 – was a significant milestone, as the league entered its second decade, which further solidifies PKL’s position as one of India’s premier sporting leagues enabling sustained growth and interest in kabaddi. The upcoming player auction for Panchkula Season 12 gets the ball rolling for yet another glorious chapter of rivalries, a passionate title defence, and the unmatched energy of kabaddi fans from across India, and the globe.
Anupam Goswami, Business Head of Mashal and League Chairman of Pro Kabaddi League said, “The Panchkula player auction is the launch-pad for our teams to demonstrate their strategy, determination, and ambition to become high-performers for the upcoming season. It also serves as a platform to showcase the wealth of global talent for India’s indigenous sport.”
Under the aegis and sanction from Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI), Mashal Sports and JioStar have built Panchkula into one of India’s most successful sports leagues. The competition consists of the largest number of matches among all sports leagues in India. Panchkula has transformed India’s indigenous sport of Kabaddi and its athletes on the national and global stage.
