Ahead of the [[2016 Pro Kabaddi League season (June)|2016(June) season]], in the PKL auction, U Mumba lost many of their key players who were a part of the squad that reached three consecutive finals. The team wasn't able to deal with the changes as they failed to make the playoffs in the following two seasons- [[2016 Pro Kabaddi League season (June)|2016(June) season]] and [[2017 Pro Kabaddi League season|2017]]. An inspired change of personnel by the owners ahead of the [[2018-19 Pro Kabaddi League season|2018-19 season]], saw U Mumba regain their lost touch and qualified for the playoffs after two failed attempts. In the process U Mumba once again became the force they once were, and ended the league stage with dominant wins and the most highest score difference than any other team. But inability to peak in big games with narrow margins, saw them getting knocked out by the [[UP Yoddha]] in the playoffs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/pro-kabaddi-league/playoffs-live-score-streaming-u-mumba-vs-up-yoddha-dabang-delhi-vs-bengal-warriors-eliminator-5516118/|title=Pro Kabaddi 2018 Playoffs Highlights: Dabang Delhi, UP Yoddha win Eliminators|work= The Indian Express|date= 30 December 2018}}</ref>
