A standout moment from the launch was an exhibition match between the PKL captains and prominent social media creators, highlighting the league’s collaboration with Meta. This innovative approach aims to engage a broader audience and inject fresh energy into the sport.

Anupam Goswami remarked on the league's growth, stating, "The first decade of the PKL has been a huge achievement, but for us, the focus is on using these experiences to prepare for the next phase."
