Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 Day 1: Live Updates

The league will witness three high profile clashes on its opening day.

The eighth edition of the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) will get underway in Bengaluru come December 22. The city will play host to all the 12 Pro Kabaddi outfits in what will be a closed-door affair to minimize travel and in order to ensure everyone’s safety.

This time the organizers have changed the format for the first four days with the introduction of the triple-header aka “Triple Panga.” This initiative will allow all the fans to watch their favourite teams and players in action in the first four matches itself.

The first match of Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 will be played between U Mumba and Bengaluru Bulls. Followed by the Southern derby between Telugu Titans and Tamil Thalaivas. The final match of the triple-header will see the defending champions Bengal Warriors go up against UP Yoddha.
