Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition in recent years. The timing of kabaddi matches varies depending on the tournament and level of competition.
In professional kabaddi leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League, matches are typically scheduled in the evening hours between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM IST to accommodate prime time television viewership. Each match consists of two halves of 20 minutes each with a 5-minute halftime break.
For local and amateur kabaddi matches, the timing is usually flexible and depends on the availability of players and facilities. Weekend afternoons between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM are popular for local tournaments and friendly matches.
International kabaddi competitions follow standardized timing rules set by the International Kabaddi Federation. The match duration remains 40 minutes of playing time with additional time for intervals and technical timeouts. |
