Indian Super League 2026-27 Season Overview

This will be the 13th season of the ISL and the 31st season of top-tier Indian football overall. And this year, the league finally gets its shape back.
Last season was a truncated affair. Administrative delays pushed the start to February 14, 2026, and clubs played a single-leg round robin instead of the usual home-and-away format, packing in 91 matches between February and May.

The 2026-27 season returns to a full seven-month, home-and-away campaign. With 14 clubs playing each other twice, expect somewhere close to 182 league matches, though the AIFF hasn’t confirmed the exact fixture count yet.

The ISL 2026-27 will start from 10 October 2026 and will go on till 17 January 2027 and this phase 1 schedule. The schedule for 2nd phase and playoffs will be released later on.

One scheduling detail is confirmed, though. The league calendar will be built around the FIFA international match windows in September, October, November and March, according to the AIFF’s own announcement. That should mean fewer clashes between club and national team duty this time around.

Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium

A quick rundown of what changed and why:

Diamond Harbour FC

won the 2025-26 Indian Football League title with an injury-time equaliser and earned an instant promotion. They’ll make their ISL debut this season, and honestly, their rise from third-tier football to the top flight in three years is one of the wilder stories in recent Indian football.

Mohammedan Sporting Club

got relegated after finishing 14th without a win in ISL 2025-26, so they head back down to the IFL for 2026-27.

Sporting Club Delhi

isn’t a new club, just a familiar one wearing a different shirt. It’s the rebranded Hyderabad FC, which relocated to the capital and adopted a new identity under Jindal Football Private Limited.

Three of the 14 clubs, East Bengal FC, Mohun Bagan Super Giant and now Diamond Harbour FC, are all based in and around Kolkata. That’s a lot of derby energy packed into one city, and West Bengal is about to have a very busy football calendar.

ISL 2026-27 Venues: Where the Action Happens

The ISL 2026-27 clubs are spread across the country, from Guwahati in the northeast to Kochi in the south and Delhi in the north. It’s genuinely one of the more geographically diverse top-flight leagues in Asia.

A few things worth knowing about the grounds:

Salt Lake Stadium

in Kolkata, officially the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, is one of the largest stadiums in the world by capacity and hosts both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan Super Giant.

Inter Kashi FC

is based in Varanasi, but continues playing home matches at Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata while construction on their own ground continues.

Diamond Harbour FC

still needs to sort out a home venue that meets ISL hosting standards. Their usual Kalyani Stadium base may need upgrades before the season starts.

Punjab FC and Sporting Club Delhi

both play out of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi and are exploring a shared arrangement for the new season.

Foreign Players and Squad Rules for ISL 2026-27

Clubs can register a maximum of six foreign players, with only four allowed on the field at any given time. This rule stays unchanged from last season.

One tweak worth flagging: OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) players will no longer get a separate registration category. They’ll count as regular foreign signings from now on, filling one of the six foreign slots.

A proposed rule requiring an Indian striker to play the full 90 minutes didn’t make the cut either. So, coaches remain free to field a foreign forward for the entire match if they choose.

Commercial Rights, Broadcast and Live Streaming

Here’s where things get interesting. The ISL is moving to a club-led commercial model starting this season. Clubs now hold the broadcasting and sponsorship rights, while the AIFF keeps administrative and regulatory oversight, as announced at a joint press conference on July 8, 2026.

Each of the 14 clubs pays an annual participation fee of ₹1.10 crore, split into two instalments, and the AIFF also collects 10% of the league’s net profit under the new arrangement.

So, who’s broadcasting the matches? That part isn’t settled yet. The Managing Committee released a Request for Proposal on July 25, 2026, inviting bids for broadcast, digital and production rights, with submissions due by August 8, 2026.

For context, FanCode held the exclusive media rights for the truncated 2025-26 season, sublicensing television coverage to Sony Sports Network. Whether that partnership continues into 2026-27 depends entirely on how the new bidding process plays out.

We’ll update this section the moment a broadcast partner is confirmed, so bookmark this page if you don’t want to miss it.

Continental Football: India’s AFC Champions League Two Spots

Two clubs will represent India on the continental stage this season. East Bengal FC qualify as ISL champions, and FC Goa join them after winning a record third AIFF Super Cup title in December 2025, beating East Bengal 6-5 on penalties in the final.

Both sides will need to juggle continental fixtures alongside their domestic campaign, which is part of why the AIFF built this season’s calendar around FIFA’s international windows.

Past ISL Champions: The Complete Winners List

The Indian Super League has crowned a champion every season since its 2014 launch. Here’s the complete list.

Season	Champions
2025-26	East Bengal FC (1st title)
2024-25	Mohun Bagan Super Giant (2nd title)
2023-24	Mohun Bagan Super Giant
2022-23	Mumbai City FC
2021-22	Hyderabad FC
2020-21	Mumbai City FC
2019-20	ATK (3rd title)
2018-19	Bengaluru FC
2017-18	Chennaiyin FC (2nd title)
2016	ATK (2nd title)
2015	Chennaiyin FC
2014	ATK (Inaugural champions)

Mohun Bagan Super Giant and ATK share the record for most titles with two apiece (Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s lineage includes ATK Mohun Bagan’s history). Chennaiyin FC and Mumbai City FC have each won it twice too, and East Bengal FC’s win last season finally added their name to a list that had eluded them for over two decades.
