When is Pro Kabaddi League Season 11 starting?

In previous seasons, such as Season 8 and Season 10, matches took place from December to February, following an October auction. Given that this year's auction concluded earlier, it is likely that the season will also start earlier, similar to the 2022 edition (Season 9).

The official start date for PKL 2024 has not yet been announced. However, it is expected that Season 11 will begin in the first week of October and wrap up with the final in December. The full PKL 2024 schedule will be released by the organizers soon.

Where will PKL Season 11 matches be staged?

Last season, the PKL returned to its traditional caravan format after the previous two editions were held in a single venue or a limited number of venues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This season, each team will have the opportunity to host matches at their home venues. While not all home games will be played at their respective home venues, every team will host some matches at their home locations throughout the season.

Here is a look at the likely venues for PKL Season 11:

Bengal Warriors: Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata, West Bengal
