The Pro Wrestling League (PWL) 2026 officially kicked off on January 15, 2026, at the Noida Indoor Stadium bringing together elite Indian and international wrestlers in a compact, high-intensity format.
With revamped squads, a refreshed operational structure, and record-breaking player auctions, the fifth edition of the Pro Wrestling League aims to reassert itself as the leading professional wrestling league in the country.
A total of six franchises will compete in a single round-robin league format, with each team playing five matches. A total of 15 league-stage fixtures will be played across 13 matchdays.
At the end of the league phase, the top four teams will qualify for the semi-finals, scheduled for January 30 and 31, before the champions are crowned in the PWL 2026 Final on February 1 (Sunday). Strategic rest days on January 22 and January 24 have been built into the schedule to support athlete recovery without compromising competitive intensity.
Each league tie will feature nine bouts across multiple weight categories, maintaining Pro Wrestling League’s distinctive team-based scoring system that balances men’s and women’s wrestling while rewarding squad depth and tactical match-ups.
