The Pirates won their first title by defeating defending champions [[U Mumba]] in [[2016 Pro Kabaddi League season (January)|2016 (January)]],  after reaching the semi-finals in the previous two seasons ([[2015 Pro Kabaddi League season|2014]] and [[2015 Pro Kabaddi League season|2015]]). In the following [[2016 Pro Kabaddi League season (June)|2016 (June)]] season, Patna Pirates defeated the [[Jaipur Pink Panthers]], thus becoming the first team in PKL history to successfully defend their title and later completed a hat-trick of titles by defeating [[Gujarat Giants (kabaddi)|Gujarat Fortune Giants]] in the final of the [[2017 Pro Kabaddi League season|2017]] tournament. The [[2018-19 Pro Kabaddi League season|2018-19 season]] was a contrasting season for the usually successful Patna Pirates, as the 3-time defending champions crashed out in the group stages, thus failing to make the playoffs for the first time ever. [[Patna]] is also the first team to play 100 Pro Kabaddi matches.

Patna Pirates (PTP) is a professional kabaddi team based in Patna, Bihar, that plays in the Pro Kabaddi League. The team is led by Ankit Jaglan and coached by Randeep Dalal and Prashant Kumar Rai. Their home ground is the Patliputra Sports Complex.[1] The Pirates are the most successful team in PKL history with a record 3 titles which they won consecutively. Pirates are the only team to defend the PKL title. They have also finished as runners-up 2 times, and also hold the record for most playoff appearances in league history (9).

The Pirates won their first title by defeating defending champions U Mumba in 2016 (January), after reaching the semi-finals in the previous two seasons (2014 and 2015). In the following 2016 (June) season, Patna Pirates defeated the Jaipur Pink Panthers, thus becoming the first team in PKL history to successfully defend their title and later completed a hat-trick of titles by defeating Gujarat Fortune Giants in the final of the 2017 tournament. The 2018-19 season was a contrasting season for the usually successful Patna Pirates, as the 3-time defending champions crashed out in the group stages, thus failing to make the playoffs for the first time ever. Patna is also the first team to play 100 Pro Kabaddi matches.
