The franchise has been in the news for controversies, including a temporary termination in 2010 before being reinstated by the High Court. Their most impressive historical performance came in the 2014 final, where they posted 199/4 but lost to Kolkata Knight Riders.

PBKS topped the league table, ending an 11-year playoff drought, and reached their second final . In a thrilling contest, they posted 184/7 in response to Royal Challengers Bengaluru's 190/9, falling short by just 6 runs .
For the 2026 season, the leadership remains with Iyer and Ponting, who oversee a settled 25-member squad . Their campaign began on March 31 at their primary home ground, the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, with a split home schedule also including Dharamsala .
Following their 2025 success, Punjab Kings recorded the highest brand value growth (39.6%) among all IPL teams, with their valuation reaching approximately $141 million .
