Premier Badminton League, aka PBL, is a team badminton league operating in India. It was launched in 2016 and is one of the top badminton leagues in the world.[1] It features nine state or city-based franchise teams and the top Indian and international badminton talent. The league has reached an audience of more than 100 million through television, on-ground support, and social media. As of 2024, the league has hosted 5 seasons.[2]

The first season of PBL was held from 2 to 17 January 2016. Delhi Dashers, formerly Delhi Acers, defeated Mumbai Rockets in the final to clinch the title. The second season began on 22 December 2016 and came to end on 14 January 2017 with the Chennai Smashers headed by P. V. Sindhu clinching the title in the finals. The third season began on 23 December 2017 and came to end on 14 January 2018 with Hyderabad Hunters headed by Carolina Marín emerging as the champions.

## Background

[edit]

### Tournament format

[edit]

Teams play each other in round-robin format in league stage. Each team plays six ties in the league stage in which each tie consists of five matches. The matches played are two Men's singles, Women's singles, Men's doubles and Mixed doubles. Each of these matches are best of 3 games.[3] Teams earn one point for each regular match win; in addition, each team must choose a Trump match, where a win is worth two points, and a loss subtracts one point.[4] After league stage, the top four teams in the table will qualify for the knockout stage. The winners of semi-finals goes into the final, in which the winner will be crowned the PBL champions.

### Player auctions

[edit]

The player auctions are usually held at the end of each year for the subsequent season. Professional players from around the world enter the bidding where teams buy them.[5] The league has helped players more than double their annual earnings from prize money in the year 2018.[6] As per Danish player Victor Axelsen, this was a crucial part of their annual income.[7] Each franchise has a purse of ₹2 crore (US$240,000) and the maximum a team can spend on a single player was ₹77 lakh (US$91,000) in the most recent 2020 auction.[8]

#### Fifth Season

[edit]

The fifth season auctions were held on 26 November 2019 in New Delhi.[9] Each franchise had a purse of ₹2 crore (US$240,000), and were not allowed to spend more than ₹77 lakh (US$91,000) on a single player.[8][9] The highest paid players were the Taiwanese Tai Tzu-ying and Indian P. V. Sindhu, both sold for the maximum amount of ₹77 lakh (US$91,000) to Bengaluru Raptors and Hyderabad Hunters respectively. Indian doubles player Satwiksairaj Rankireddy was the next highest, bought for ₹62 lakh (US$73,000) by Chennai Superstarz.[10]

2020 being the Olympic year, key players like Saina Nehwal, Kidambi Srikanth, Carolina Marín, Victor Axelsen and others have decided to skip the season.[11][12]

Some of the players were traded between Mumbai, Chennai and Pune teams ahead of the season.[13]
