These teams will compete in a double round-robin format during the league stage. The top four teams will advance to the semi-finals scheduled for January 11, 2024, while the grand finale will take place on January 13, 2024.
“We’re beyond excited to launch Season 2 of Ultimate Kho Kho, building upon the immense success of the first season. We’re dedicated to elevating this season with thrilling matches, emerging talent, and an expanding fanbase. This league is not just a contest; it’s a platform to highlight Kho Kho’s dynamism, inspire upcoming athletes, and contribute to the evolution of a robust sports ecosystem in India,” said Vishal Sharma, League Director and COO of Ultimate Kho Kho.
