Odisha Juggernauts beat Telugu Yoddhas 46-45 in the final. The season had a viewership of 64 million, 41 million of which came from India.

History


An exhibition match was played on July 14, 2022. The player draft for the league was completed later that day, with 143 players chosen. Special effort had to be made to find a suitable indoor arena for the first season of Ultimate kho" target="_blank">Kho kho" target="_blank">Kho, given the requirement to have firmly fastened poles as part of the playing area.

In this season, the rules around scoring worked like this: 2 points are scored for a regular tag (known as a "Running Touch"), and 3 points are scored if a tag is made while an attacker is either fully outstretched and diving ("Sky Dive") or touching a pole ("Pole Dive"), or if a defender got themselves out by stepping out of the field ("Boundary Out") or intentionally allowing themselves to be tagged ("Self-Out"). These rules were changed in the next season so that each tagged defender is always worth 2 points to the attacking team. The rule around Dream Runs was also different in this season: if any batch of defenders could avoid being all dismissed for at least 2 and a half minutes, they would earn 2 points, with an additional 2 points earned for every 30 seconds survived afterwards. In addition, there was a rule that if the attacking team dismissed 4 batches of defenders in a single turn (known as an "all out", since all 12 defenders on the opposing team will have been dismissed), 3 bonus points are scored.
