About Us
pklschedule.com/ started with a simple problem. Every kabaddi season, the same question kept popping up everywhere. When does the next match start. Where can I find the full schedule. Why does the points table look different on three different websites.
We built this site to fix that. pklschedule.com/ is an independent fan resource dedicated to the Pro Kabaddi League, covering match schedules, points tables, team profiles, auction news, and everything else a kabaddi fan actually wants to know without digging through ten different tabs.
This page tells you who runs the site, why it exists, and how we work. If you have ever wondered whether the information on this site can be trusted, this is the page that answers that question honestly.
Who We Are
pklschedule.com/ is written and edited by Vikas Sharma, a long-time kabaddi follower who got tired of chasing accurate schedule information across scattered forums and outdated news pages. What began as a personal habit of tracking match dates for friends turned into a full website once it became clear other fans faced the exact same frustration.
We are not affiliated with Mashal Sports, the Pro Kabaddi League, Star Sports, or any official league body. Everything on this site is built independently, using publicly available information, official league announcements, and careful research into match results, team histories, and league rules.
That independence matters. It means we are not bound by any official partnership to present information a certain way. Our only goal is accuracy and usefulness for the reader, not promoting any particular team, sponsor, or broadcast partner.
Why We Built This Site
Kabaddi in India has grown into one of the country’s most watched sports leagues, yet finding clear, well-organized information about it online has always been harder than it should be. Cricket fans get instant, detailed coverage from dozens of major outlets. Kabaddi fans often had to settle for scattered social media posts or outdated schedule pages that never got updated once the season actually started.
We wanted to close that gap. pklschedule.com/ exists to give kabaddi fans one reliable place to check match schedules, understand how the playoff format works, follow auction news, and learn about individual teams and players, all written in plain language that does not assume you already know every rule of the sport.
A lot of sports content online gets written for people who already understand the game deeply. We take a different approach here. Whether you have followed PKL since Season 1 or you just watched your first match last week, our content aims to actually make sense to you.
What You Will Find on This Site
Our coverage falls into a few main categories, each aimed at answering a different kind of question fans typically have.
Match Schedules and Season Timelines
The core of this site is schedule information. We track match dates, venue changes, and season timelines across every completed PKL season, along with the most current information available about upcoming seasons. When official dates are not yet confirmed, we say so clearly rather than guessing and presenting a guess as fact.
Points Tables and Player Stats
Beyond just schedules, we track team standings, individual player statistics, and explain how PKL’s scoring system actually works. Raid points, tackle points, Super Raids, Super Tackles, these terms get explained in plain language rather than assumed knowledge.
Team Profiles
Every PKL franchise gets its own dedicated page covering their history, notable players, and past performance. Whether you are a die-hard supporter of one team or just trying to figure out who to root for, these pages give you the background you need.
Auction Coverage
PKL’s player auction is one of the most exciting events on the calendar for serious fans, and we cover it in detail, from how the bidding process works to which players commanded the biggest prices in recent seasons.
Playoff and Format Explainers
PKL has changed its playoff format more than once over the years, and keeping track of exactly how Eliminators, Qualifiers, and Semifinals fit together can be confusing. We break these formats down step by step so you always know which team needs to win what.
How We Research and Write Our Content
Accuracy matters more to us than being first to publish something. Before any schedule, score, or statistic goes on this site, we cross-check it against multiple sources, including official league statements, established sports news outlets, and historical records.
When a date or detail has not been officially confirmed, we say so directly instead of presenting a rumor as settled fact. You will see phrases like “expected” or “reported” throughout our content whenever something has not been locked in by an official announcement. We think that honesty matters more than sounding confident about something we cannot actually verify.
Our writing style aims to be direct and readable. We avoid unnecessary jargon, and when a kabaddi-specific term does need explaining, like a Do-or-Die raid or a Super Tackle, we explain it the first time it comes up rather than assuming every reader already knows it.
We also update older content when new information comes in. A schedule page written months before a season starts gets revisited and corrected once official fixtures are announced, rather than being left outdated and misleading.
Our Commitment to Readers
We take a few things seriously as a matter of principle, and we think readers deserve to know exactly what those are.
No Fake Urgency
You will not find countdown timers pushing you to “act now” or clickbait headlines promising information we do not actually have. If we do not know an exact date yet, our headline will not pretend otherwise.
Clear Separation Between Fact and Speculation
Sports content is full of predictions, rumors, and educated guesses, and there is nothing wrong with sharing those, as long as readers know which is which. We clearly label speculation as speculation and confirmed facts as confirmed facts throughout our content.
Respect for the Sport and Its Players
Kabaddi players work incredibly hard, often without the recognition given to athletes in more mainstream sports. We aim to write about players and teams with the same respect and seriousness that any professional athlete deserves, regardless of how niche the sport might seem to newer fans.
Advertising and How This Site Stays Running
Running a website with regularly updated schedules, stats, and long-form guides takes real time and effort. To keep pklschedule.com/ free for every visitor, this site displays advertising through third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense.
These ads help cover hosting costs, research time, and the ongoing work of keeping schedule and stat pages accurate as new information comes in. We do not let advertising influence our editorial content. No sponsor or advertiser gets special treatment in our coverage, and no team or league partner pays for favorable coverage on this site.
If you want more detail on how advertising and data collection work on this site, our Privacy Policy explains exactly what information gets collected and how third-party advertising partners use it.
A Note on Accuracy and Independence
We want to be upfront about something important. pklschedule.com/ is a fan-operated information resource, not an official Pro Kabaddi League property. While we work hard to keep every schedule, score, and statistic accurate, we always recommend checking the official prokabaddi.com website or official broadcast partners for the absolute final word on anything time-sensitive, like exact match timings on the day of a game.
Our Disclaimer page goes into more detail about the limits of the information we provide and why independent verification matters for anything you plan around, like travel to a match or a fantasy league decision.
Our Long-Term Goals for This Site
Kabaddi as a sport keeps growing, and we want pklschedule.com/ to grow alongside it. Over time, we plan to expand our coverage to include more detailed statistical breakdowns, deeper historical archives, and clearer explainers for newer fans discovering the sport for the first time.
We also want this site to become a genuinely useful resource for people outside India who are discovering kabaddi through international broadcasts and streaming platforms. The sport deserves a wider audience, and clear, accessible information in English is a small but real part of helping that happen.
None of this happens without readers like you actually finding this content useful. If something on this site helped you settle an argument about which team has won the most titles, figure out when the next match is, or finally understand what a Super Raid actually is, then this site is doing exactly what it set out to do.
How Often We Update This Site
Sports information goes stale fast, and a schedule page that was accurate in June can easily become misleading by October if nobody bothers to update it. We treat updates as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time task we finish and forget about.
During an active PKL season, schedule pages, points tables, and stat pages get checked and refreshed regularly to reflect the latest results and standings. Between seasons, we shift our attention to auction coverage, retention news, and any official announcements about the upcoming season’s format or timeline.
If you ever notice a page on this site that looks outdated or contains information that no longer matches reality, we genuinely want to know. Reader feedback is one of the fastest ways we catch mistakes that slipped past our own review process.
Our Editorial Standards in Detail
We follow a few consistent rules whenever we write or update content on this site, and we think it is worth spelling them out clearly rather than leaving them vague.
We Verify Before We Publish
Before any statistic, score, or date appears on this site, we check it against at least one other independent source whenever possible. For historical results, that usually means cross-referencing official league records against contemporaneous news coverage from the time the match or event actually happened.
We Correct Mistakes Openly
Nobody gets every detail right every single time, especially across more than a decade of league history with plenty of conflicting reports floating around online. When we find an error in our own content, whether we catch it ourselves or a reader points it out, we fix it and do not try to quietly bury the correction.
We Distinguish Our Own Analysis From Facts
When we offer our own opinion on a team’s chances, a player’s form, or what a rule change might mean for the league, we try to make clear that this is our own view, not an established fact. Readers deserve to know when they are reading our take versus something that is simply true regardless of anyone’s opinion.
Who This Site Is For
We built pklschedule.com/ with a few different types of readers in mind, and we try to make sure all of them find something useful here.
Longtime fans who have followed the league since its early seasons often come here looking for quick reference information, like exact playoff dates or historical champion lists, rather than a full introduction to the sport. Our history and stats pages are built with this reader in mind, packed with specific dates, scores, and records rather than lengthy explanations of basic rules.
Newer fans, often people who discovered kabaddi through a viral highlight clip or a friend’s recommendation, tend to need more context. Our explainer content on scoring rules, playoff formats, and auction mechanics is written specifically for this audience, assuming no prior knowledge of the sport’s terminology or structure.
Fantasy league players and casual bettors make up a third group of regular readers, and while we do not provide betting advice or predictions designed to influence wagering decisions, our statistical breakdowns and player performance data are genuinely useful for anyone trying to make informed fantasy roster decisions.
What We Do Not Do
It helps to be clear about the boundaries of this site, since not every kabaddi-related website operates the same way.
We do not sell tickets, and we are not a ticketing platform. If you are looking to attend a match in person, we recommend checking official league or venue ticketing channels directly, since we do not process any ticket transactions ourselves.
We do not provide betting tips, gambling advice, or wagering recommendations of any kind. Our statistical content exists to inform fans, not to encourage betting activity, and we do not accept sponsorships from gambling or betting platforms.
We do not claim to be an official source. Every piece of information on this site should be treated as a fan resource compiled through careful research, not an official league announcement. For anything genuinely time-sensitive or high-stakes, always confirm details through official league channels before making plans around them.

How This Site Fits Into the Larger Kabaddi Community
Kabaddi has a passionate, dedicated fan base, even if it does not always get the mainstream media attention that cricket or football receive in India. We see pklschedule.com/ as one small part of a much larger community of fans, commentators, statisticians, and former players who keep the sport’s history and culture alive online.
We regularly reference official league statistics, historical records maintained by sports journalists who have covered the league since its earliest seasons, and community discussions that help surface details that might otherwise get lost. This site would not be possible without the broader ecosystem of kabaddi coverage that already exists, and we try to add something useful to that ecosystem rather than simply competing with it.
If you run your own kabaddi blog, podcast, or social media account and think a collaboration or link exchange might make sense, feel free to reach out through our contact page. We are always open to connecting with other people who care about growing the sport’s audience.
