Before the PKL 2021/2022 began, Auction took place where 450 players went under the hammer to get a contract. The PKL Auction was held in Mumbai. 

A PKL Auction has three player categories – domestic, New Young Players (NYP), and overseas. 

The domestic players are further divided into categories – A, B, C, and D. The players in category A have a base price of ₹30 lakh, while category B players have a base price of ₹20 lakh. Category C and D have a base price of ₹10 lakh and ₹6 lakh respectively.

All 12 Kabaddi teams have a total purse of INR 4.4 crore ahead of the PKL Auction. The teams can also use Final Bid Match(FBM) which allows teams to retain a player by matching the final bid made for him. It can be used a maximum of two times during the auction. 

It also depends on the number of players retained by the team. If a team retains all of its maximum allotted six players, then it cannot use an FBM card. If it retains five players, then it can avail the FMB once. If the team retains less than five players, then it can use the FMB twice.

Each team needs to have a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 25 players.
