After the roaring success of the Vizag leg, the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 is all set to shift its base to the vibrant city of Jaipur for the next phase of the tournament. Starting 12th September 2025, kabaddi fever will take over the Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium (SMS Indoor Hall), promising fans in Rajasthan two weeks of thrilling, high-octane kabaddi action.
The Jaipur leg opens with a blockbuster clash between home favourites Jaipur Pink Panthers and the Bengaluru Bulls. The match is scheduled for 8 PM IST on September 12, and will mark the beginning of what is expected to be the most competitive and action-packed leg of the season yet.
From Vizag to Jaipur – PKL 12’s Next Chapter
The journey so far in PKL 12 has been nothing short of spectacular. The Vizag leg, which ran from August 29 to September 11, witnessed intense battles between all 12 teams, dramatic golden raids, and tie-breakers that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Now, with the action shifting to Jaipur, the focus will be on how the teams adapt to the new venue and how the Jaipur Pink Panthers perform on their home turf. As the local crowd gears up to support their side with full enthusiasm, the pressure and excitement are bound to double.
Jaipur Ready to Host PKL Once Again
Jaipur is no stranger to the kabaddi craze. Known for its passionate sports fans and rich culture, the Pink City last hosted a PKL leg back in January 2024, and fans have been eagerly waiting for the league’s return. This year, the Jaipur leg will run from September 12 to 27, featuring some of the biggest rivalries and crucial matchups that will shape the playoff picture.
The Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium has seen many memorable kabaddi battles in the past, and it is once again decked up to welcome teams, fans, and the electrifying energy that PKL brings. With packed stands, energetic beats, and non-stop action, Jaipur is expected to be one of the liveliest legs this season.
Jaipur Pink Panthers – The Home Heroes Return
The spotlight will definitely be on the Jaipur Pink Panthers, who not only won the inaugural PKL title in 2014, but also lifted the trophy again in Season 9. They have always performed well at home, thanks to the massive support from their loyal fan base and familiarity with the conditions.
Led by a strong core of experienced players and guided by a sharp coaching staff, the Pink Panthers will look to dominate on their home mat. Their opening clash against Bengaluru Bulls will be a litmus test for the team’s momentum, and a win there could set the tone for a successful leg.
