Premier Badminton League (PBL) is all set for a much-awaited comeback with season 6, scheduled from December 17 to January 14.
PBL is one of the world's top badminton leagues, which is organised by SportzLive-the official license holder of the league under the aegis of the Badminton Association of India (BAI). The upcoming edition of the league will once again bring exciting world-class badminton action to the fans after a break of two years, owing to the pandemic.
"We are thrilled with the return of PBL. It's a crucial part of Indian badminton and has contributed to the growth of the sport in the country. It has provided a much-needed platform for our young players to showcase their talent on such a huge global platform, and its return is much awaited by the entire badminton fraternity," said Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, President of Badminton Association of India.
