The sixth edition of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) begins on October 07, 2018. Earlier, as per the initial PKL 2018 schedule, the tournament was scheduled to kick-off on October 05 but later was postponed due to logistical issues. Meanwhile, the PKL 6 begins with defending champions Patna Pirates taking on Tamil Thalaivas at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai. On the same day, in the second match, Puneri Paltan will face U Mumba.

The first leg of PKL 2018 will take place in Chennai and then the action will subsequently move to Sonepat, Pune, Patna, Greater Noida, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur, and Kolkata.
