Yuva Kabaddi Series Winter Edition 2022 begins November 27 - watch live in India

The Yuva Kabaddi Series, which is India’s first year-round sports tournament, returned with its winter edition on November 27, 2022. All the matches of this edition will be staged at Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Pondicherry.

Two new entrants are taking the mat this time out as the youth competition expands its roster. While players from Pondicherry will represent Chola Veerans, Palani Tuskers will consist of players from Tamil Nadu.

The two debutants will battle it out with the already existing teams, which are Aravalli Arrows, Hampi Heroes, Vijayanagara Veers, Panchala Pride, Murthal Magnets, Kaziranga Rhinos, Tadoba Tigers and Periyar Panthers to make it a 10-team affair.

Periyar Panthers locked horns with debutants Palani Tuskers in the competition’s curtain-raiser on November 27.

Five fixtures are scheduled to be played on every matchday in the first round, called the Survival Round.

The initial Survival Round will see a total of 45 matches being played between November 27 and December 6 ahead of the Booster, Challenger and Summit rounds. The bottom-placed team will be eliminated at the end of each round of Survival and Booster rounds.

The final will take place on January 4, 2023, which will be a part of the summit round.

The two previous editions of the tournament, namely the Summer Edition (Jaipur) and the Monsoon Edition (Ranchi), took place earlier this year in the May-July and September-October windows, respectively. 

Murthal Magnets defeated Periyar Panthers 45-42 in the Summer Edition final to become the inaugural champions of the tournament. The following edition saw Hampi Heroes emerging victorious, overcoming Aravalli Arrows 59-32 in a one-sided final contest.
