2016 Premier Badminton League is the second edition of the Premier Badminton League.[1] The season was held from 2–17 January 2016. The opening ceremony was held in Mumbai and the finals in Delhi.[2] Delhi Acers became the champions after beating Mumbai Rockets in the final.

The second edition was slated to be held in October 2-14. However, due to International schedule, the tournament was rescheduled to January 2015.[3] It was later shifted to 2016 due to conflict between Sporty Solutionz and BAI.
