Until then, the most recently completed table belonged to PKL Season 12, won by Dabang Delhi K.C. in October 2025.

Why the PKL 2026 Points Table Is Empty Right Now
Pro Kabaddi runs one season a year. Season 12 wrapped up on October 31, 2025.
That means the league is currently between editions. No matches, no fresh points table.
The table returns only once Season 13 kicks off, likely later this year.
PKL Season 13 Auction and Start Date: What’s Confirmed So Far
Mashal Sports has not announced official dates. But league reports point to the auction landing in July or August 2026.
The auction splits players into four value-based categories, A through D. Teams bid using a fixed salary purse.
Two rules shape squad building this year. Final Bid Match (FBM) lets a team buy back a released player by matching the top bid. New Young Players (NYP) get signed outside the auction, giving franchises development rights over emerging domestic talent.
For scale, the Season 12 auction saw a total spend of INR 37.90 crore across two days. Teams picked up 121 players in that window. Season 13 is expected to push that number higher.

How PKL Points and Playoffs Work
A win earns a team 2 points. A loss earns 0.
The top 4 teams, Q1 to Q4, qualify straight for the playoffs. Teams ranked 5th to 8th head into the play-ins.
Two play-in winners then join the top 4 in the playoffs, making it an eight-team knockout stage.
Season 12 introduced a revamped format. It added tiebreakers, trimmed the league stage, and expanded the playoffs to eight teams. Many called it the most competitive PKL season yet.
In total, the season featured 117 matches spread across 63 days in four host cities.
PKL Season 12 Final: Dabang Delhi’s Title Run
Dabang Delhi K.C. beat Puneri Paltan 31-28 in the final. The match was played at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium, Delhi, on October 31, 2025.
This was Dabang Delhi’s second PKL title, after Season 8. They also became the first home team to lift the trophy since U Mumba in Season 2.
Neeraj Narwal and Ajinkya Pawar led the raiding charge. Fazel Atrachali sealed the win with a clutch late tackle, becoming the most successful foreign player in PKL history.
Key Storylines Ahead of PKL Season 13
- Dabang Delhi defend their crown. Only Patna Pirates have ever defended a PKL title, winning three straight from Season 3 to 5. Delhi now carry that same pressure.
- Gujarat Giants hire a decorated coach. They brought in Randhir Singh Sehrawat, nicknamed the “Chanakya of Kabaddi,” as head coach in March 2026.
- Tamil Thalaivas look for a reset. Despite fielding Pawan Sehrawat and Arjun Deshwal, they won only 6 of 18 matches in Season 12 and released their own captain mid-season.
- Telugu Titans build for the future. They signed four New Young Players ahead of the auction, strengthening their raiding and defensive depth.
