The next season of Pro Kabaddi League, which is called PKL Season 12, now has an official start date. The PKL Season 12 start date is August 29, 2025. This time also, 12 teams will compete for the title.

PKL commissioner Anupam Goswami said that this year’s auction broke many records and the upcoming season can be the most competitive in PKL history.
2025 Auction Raised the Bar for PKL
The PKL player auction held on May 31 and June 1 was one of the biggest ever. For the first time, 10 players were sold for over ₹1 crore. This has made the entire league even more exciting.
