The Journey: From Belief to Power

It started with a simple belief: North American kabaddi deserves a global stage. There were no grand arenas at first, just an unwavering passion for the sport and a deep faith in its athletes. In 2025, the developmental Kabaddi Rising Star League brought structure, energy, and opportunity to the region, proving the sport’s immense potential. Now, in 2026, that vision has evolved into the KRSPL—Pan America’s highest professional tier, based in Brampton, Canada. Guided by the vision of Kabaddi PanAm, what began as a regional proving ground has transformed into a fully professional, franchise-led global competition. We have officially shifted from promise to power.

The 2026 Season: A Global Spectacle

  • City-Based Franchises: Six dynamic teams built through strategic bidding, representing deep community identities and fan loyalty.
  • Elite Global Talent: Top North American players clash with international stars from India, Iran, the UK, and Europe.
  • Professional Ecosystem: Fully backed by elite coaches, certified referees, and a dedicated sports science and medical team.
  • High-Stakes Action: Kicking off in August 2026, featuring a grueling round-robin stage that leads to intense playoffs and a championship final.

The Ultimate Ambition

With advanced analytics and broadcast-level production bringing the action to international audiences, KRSPL breaks traditional boundaries. Yet, this is just the beginning. We are laying the groundwork for a complete, tiered ecosystem—from regional youth academies to a fully established North America Kabaddi Pro League.

Our goal is clear: To position North America as the premier global hub for professional kabaddi.

Step onto the mat.
Make your mark.
Rise.
