**Hyderabad, India (October 18, 2024):** The highly anticipated Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 11 is set to begin in Hyderabad on Friday. The opening match will see the 2018 champions, Bengaluru Bulls, face off against the Telugu Titans.

The second phase will be held in Noida from November 10th onwards, and the final phase will be held in Pune from December 3rd to 24th. A total of 137 matches, including playoffs, will be played throughout the league.
