We provide the evidence for the existence of partially deconfined phase in large-$N$ gauge theory.
In this phase, the SU($M$) subgroup of SU($N$) gauge group deconfines, where $\frac{M}{N}$
changes continuously from zero (confined phase) to one (deconfined phase).
The partially deconfined phase may exist in real QCD with $N=3$.
