The 12th edition of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) will get underway on August 29, the organisers confirmed on Wednesday.

The upcoming season will witness defending champions Haryana Steelers stepping onto the mat to safeguard their maiden title triumph from the previous year, eager to cement their legacy and launch a robust title defence.

"With all 12 franchises strengthening their squads through the recently concluded auction, the upcoming season promises to deliver unprecedented levels of competition and entertainment," the organisers said.
