PKL 2024 playoffs schedule
There are two eliminators, which will be played between teams placed three to six. Winners of the eliminators will reach the semi-final, where they will meet the top two teams in the points table.
The Pro Kabaddi League 2023–24 is finally reaching its fag end. The PKL 2024 playoffs will begin on Monday, February 26, at the Gachobowli SPKL Stadium in Hyderabad without the home team.
PKL 2024 playoffs teams
Puneri Paltan, who has never won the title and finished second in the last season, topped the points table after the league stage and entered yet another playoff.
Next to Puneris on the points table was the season-one winner and the defending champion, the Jaipur Pink Panthers. They would be looking to replicate the Patna Pirates by becoming the second team to win the PKL trophy.
The Patna Pirates have also qualified for the playoffs, albeit as the last of the six teams on the points table. However, the difference in points between them and the teams in the fourth and fifth positions in the league is just one.
Gujarat Giants and Haryana Steelers are fourth and fifth on the points table, with 70 points in 22 games to their name. These two teams have never won the trophy before and are relatively new to the league, as they were introduced to the league only in the fifth edition.
Dabang Delhi KC, who won the league for the first time after its revival after Covid-19, have made it to the playoffs as the third-placed unit on the points table.
What is the format of the PKL 2024 playoffs?
So, the formula is simple. Two eliminators will be played between teams placed three to six in the points table at the end of the league stage. The teams finishing in the top two would have the advantage of not playing the eliminator and entering the semi-final directly. The winners of the two eliminators will then join the top two teams in the semi-final, and the winners will play in the final.
