Season 12 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is set to kick off on August 29 from the scenic coastal city of Visakhapatnam. Marking a much-anticipated return to the city after a seven-year hiatus, the new season launches on National Sports Day.

The 12th edition promises to be the most intense and competitive season yet, with a revamped format designed to bring fans closer to the action. The curtain-raiser will see home favourites Telugu Titans take on the Tamil Thalaivas, followed by a clash between Bengaluru Bulls and Puneri Paltan, both matches to be held at the Vishwanadh Sports Club.

To officially usher in Season 12, a grand launch event was held at Novotel, Varun Beach, featuring key league and team representatives. Present at the event were captains Vijay Malik (Telugu Titans) and Pawan Sehrawat (Tamil Thalaivas), alongside the other ten team skippers.
