Mashal Sports is excited to announce the upcoming Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) Player Auction, which will take place in Mumbai on May 31 and June 1, 2025.

On May 17, the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) announced the ‘Elite Retained Players’, ‘Retained Young Players’, and ‘New Young Players’ retention and released list ahead of the season 12 auction.

The Season 12 Auction comes after the successful conclusion of PKL 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 PKL, 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 PKL Season 12 kicks off yet another glorious chapter of rivalries, a passionate title defence, and the unmatched energy of kabaddi fans from across India and the globe.  

Speaking on the same, Mr. Anupam Goswami, Business Head of Mashal and League Chairman of Pro Kabaddi League, said, “We are pleased to announce the dates for the PKL 12 player auction.

The PKL 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. We look forward to seeing how teams tap into our rich talent pool to build their squads at the upcoming PKL Season 12 Player Auction.”

Under the aegis and sanction from the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI), Mashal Sports and JioStar have built PKL into one of India’s most successful sports leagues. The competition consists of the largest number of matches among all sports leagues in India. The Pro Kabaddi League has transformed India’s indigenous sport of Kabaddi and its athletes on the national and global stage.
