The sixth season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) will now begin on October 7 instead of October 5, its organisers confirmed on Monday.

The organisers Mashal Sports Pvt Ltd had earlier announced that the season would begin on October 5.

The 6th Season of the PKL will start on October 7 instead of the earlier date of October 5 owing to logistical reasons such as caravan movement and stadium availability.
