Something new is coming to Indian sport in 2026.
The Korfball Premier League — India's first professional korfball competition — is preparing for its inaugural season. For fans, players, and anyone curious about sport that does things differently, this is the guide to everything you need to know about KPL Season 2026.
Teams. Fixtures. Tickets. Broadcast. How to follow. How to get involved. It is all here.
What is the Korfball Premier League?
The Korfball Premier League is India's first professional korfball competition. Founded on the values that make korfball unique — equal teams of four men and four women, no physical contact, skill and teamwork above all else — KPL is building a new kind of sporting league for India.
Season 2026 is the inaugural season. It is the beginning of something that has never existed in India before: a professional mixed-gender sport league, played at the highest domestic level, with franchises, fans, and a full competitive structure.
Every match in KPL Season 2026 will feature eight-on-eight korfball — four men and four women per team, competing together as one unit. There are no separate men's and women's divisions. There is one league, one competition, one set of rules, and every team is equal.
KPL Teams: What to Expect
KPL Season 2026 will feature franchises representing cities and regions across India. Each franchise will field a squad of male and female players — a mix of India's established korfball talent and new athletes discovering the sport for the first time.
Team announcements are coming. When they drop, you will meet the players, the franchise owners, and the cities that will be competing for the inaugural KPL title.
What makes a KPL team different from a team in any other Indian sports league? The composition. Every squad must maintain its four-men, four-women structure. There is no option to field a stronger male lineup or rotate women into supporting roles. The team is the team — equal, interdependent, and competing as one.
Follow KPL on the website and social channels to be first to hear team announcements.

Every great sports league has a moment when it was just an idea, before the matches, before the fans, before the players had names and the teams had cities.
This is that moment for KPL.

India's sporting culture has always been built by people who believed in something before everyone else did.
