The venue for the finals, semi-finals, and eliminator games of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022 have been announced on November 17, 2022. The organizers of the Pro Kabaddi League, Mashal Sports, confirmed that final phase of the competition will be staged at the Dome, NSCI – Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium in Mumbai from December 13 to December 17, 2022. The announcement was made by the Head of Sports Leagues, Mashal Sports, and League Commissioner, Anupam Goswami during the press conference for the Hyderabad leg.
This edition of the Pro Kabaddi League followed a distinct structure. Unlike the previous seven seasons, Mashal Sports planned to keep the tournament’s league stage in only three cities.

The organizers, however, did not reveal the location of the playoffs when it announced the league stage schedule.
After the end of the league stage, the top six teams in the Pro Kabaddi points table will progress to the playoffs. The play-offs will be from December 13 to December 17, 2022. The Eliminators 1 and 2 will be played on December 13, followed by Semi-final 1 and 2 on December 15. The grand finale of the 2022 edition will take place on December 17, 2022.
