PKL 13 auction likely to take place in mid-October 2026
Dabang Delhi are the defending champions of PKL.
The world of Kabaddi has been quiet for some time, and fans are wondering when they will get to see the action of PKL 13. The 12th edition of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) ended way back in October 2025. Fans expected the next edition to begin soon, as there were a few rumours regarding its start.
However, till now, there has been no official announcement from the league or its officials regarding the next edition of the PKL, and fans are still wondering when it will take place.
With the Asian Games scheduled for September this year, followed by the Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship, the Kabaddi calendar is packed, and multiple nations have already started their training camps. This means that we may see the next PKL season take place later in the year.
However, before the actual games begin, there will be a player auction where teams will release some players, retain others, and try to build their best possible squads. On that note, let’s look at when the PKL 13 auction could take place.
Busy International Kabaddi calendar could delay the PKL Auction
According to our sources, the PKL 13 auction is likely to take place in mid-October. The auction is expected to take place between October 18th to 25th.
The PKL auction could be delayed due to the upcoming Asian Games 2026 and Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship. Additionally, the Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship is also scheduled for October, which is why the auction could be postponed until mid-October.
Before the auction, all teams will retain some players and release others in accordance with PKL rules. They will also announce their new young player recruits.
After the auction, the teams will assemble their squads and start their practice camps, and we may see the start of PKL Season 13 approximately in December.
Fans will be excited by these developments, as the kabaddi schedule will be continuous and packed with action, offering plenty of entertainment.
When will the PKL 13 auction be held?
The PKL 13 auction is likely to be held in mid-October.

Kabaddi is old, but not older than my love for it. I am still a rookie, but kabaddi is one thing I have been following passionately since my childhood. I don't miss any matches of the league and I regularly follow domestic and international tournaments as well.
