When is start date of PKL 11? Pro Kabaddi League season 11 starting date

The league management wants to return to their original window.

Having witnessed an enthralling Kabaddi action in season 10 of the Pro Kabaddi League, the fans might not have to wait longer to watch another season. PKL 11 might start on July 1, and the Auction might happen at the end of May or in the first week of June. The tournament’s organizers are eager to return to its previous July–September window.

“According to a Khel Now source close to the developments, They believe PKL is ideally suited to gain maximum attention for the league, as this is the period with the least cluttered sporting calendar in the country.” Also, the Indians would have witnessed three months of non-stop T20 action with the Indian Premier League and the T20 World Cup.

IPL released its full schedule recently with the final set to happen on May 26. The T20 World Cup is set to begin on June 1. The seeds for season 11 of PKL might be sown between these two marquee Cricket events with the PKL Auction. The quadrennial event in the shortest format for cricket is scheduled to conclude on June 29. Hence, going back to the original window might be ideal for the organizers and broadcasters.

The official Television broadcaster for all of these events is Star Sports, who would like to ensure there would be no overlap as PKL has been a huge contributor to them. Even though cricket is the most popular sport in India, the PKL is ranked second among Indian franchise leagues for other sports. Also, Star was one of the pioneers in the launch of PKL along with Marshal Sports Pvt Ltd.

The last two seasons took place throughout December to February because of COVID-19-related travel restrictions. PKL 10 was originally supposed to take place in July, but due to scheduling conflicts with the Asian Games and Asian Kabaddi Championships, it was once more moved to December. The best chance for the league to go back to its original window, though, is in 2024.
