2021–22 Pro Kabaddi League

The 2021–22 Vivo Pro Kabaddi League was the eighth season of Pro Kabaddi League. The season began on 22 December 2021. The usual travelling caravan format was changed to a single venue hosting all the matches of the season due to spread of COVID-19 pandemic in India. Kanteerava Indoor Stadium, Bangalore was initially announced as the venue, but was later changed to the Sheraton Grand Hotel and Convention Center located in Whitefield, Bangalore.

Each team played against all the other teams twice, and the top 6 teams proceed to the play-offs. The player auctions for the season 8 were conducted from August 29 to 31, 2021 in Mumbai. Dabang Delhi defeated Patna Pirates in the final match to win their maiden title

Viewership
This year PKL was played without an audience and shed the caravan style format. Instead, all teams played at a single location in Bengaluru. Looking back at IPL last year, media planners suggest that format changes will have little to no impact on the viewership of the tournament. Mashal Sports has also announced that triple headers will be played on all Saturdays which may have a positive impact on the viewership over weekends.
