Pro Kabaddi 2022 organizers Mashal Sports have announced the dates and venues for this year's PKL playoffs. The final phase of the competition will take place from December 13 to 17 in Mumbai.
Pro Kabaddi 2022 has followed a unique format. Unlike the first seven seasons, Mashal Sports decided to host the tournament's league stage in only three cities. Previously, each franchise would host games for a week in their home city.
This year, Bengaluru, Pune and Hyderabad received the rights to host PKL league matches. Mashal Sports did not announce the venue for the playoffs at the time of declaring the league stage's schedule.

Pro Kabaddi 2022's Hyderabad leg will start on Friday, November 18
PKL 2022's Bengaluru and Pune legs are in the history books. The teams have reached Hyderabad for the third phase of the league stage. The Telugu Titans will play in front of their home fans for the first time since 2019.
The Titans have not had a memorable season so far as they have only managed one victory. The team's coach Venkatesh Goud is hopeful that the Titans will turn things around on their home turf.
Goud said:
“We are very excited to play in front of our home fans in Hyderabad. The fans will certainly spur us on to put up great performances and we can’t wait to entertain them in the stadium. Hopefully, we’ll strike form in our home city."
