Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League to be back in June

Star India will bring the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League on air in June for the fourth season. The network made the announcement as the ongoing third season enters the semi-finals stage, being held in New Delhi.

The fourth season will take place from June 25 to July 31, with the existing eight teams participating. This is the first time a sporting league will have two seasons in a calendar year. “Unlike cricket and football, in case of kabaddi, fans have limited opportunities to engage with the live sport. So, we decided to have the league twice a year,” says Nitin Kukreja, president and head, sports, Star India.
