The Pro Wrestling League: The Pro Wrestling League (PWL), India’s premier franchise-based professional wrestling league sanctioned by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), is set for a high-profile return to competitive action as over 250 wrestlers will go under the hammer at the 2026 player auction scheduled to be held on Saturday in New Delhi.

The auction marks a crucial step in the build-up to the league’s fifth season, which resumes after a six-year hiatus.

The wrestlers in the PWL 2026 auction pool have been classified into four categories – A+ (Marquee), A, B, and C – based on performance credentials and international standing. The base prices for these categories have been fixed at 18 lakh for A+ wrestlers, 12 lakh for Category A, 8 lakh for Category B, and 3 lakh for Category C, offering franchises a structured and transparent bidding framework.
