Indian Super League 2026-27 Season Calendar
Here is the confirmed season calendar as released by the AIFF, covering the league stage through to the end of the playoffs.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| League Begins | 10 October 2026 |
| League Stage | October 2026 – April 2027 |
| Playoffs | After League Stage |
| Season Ends | April 2027 |
The AIFF has planned this window to fit around FIFA and AFC international windows, which is also why the season stretches across seven months rather than being condensed into a shorter block.
ISL 2026-27 Competition Format
The fixture list is directly shaped by the format, so it helps to know how the season is structured before fixtures arrive. The 2026-27 season features 14 teams competing in a home-and-away league stage, meaning every team plays each opponent twice, once at home and once away.
This produces a long league phase before the competition moves into playoffs. The top-placed teams from the league stage advance to the knockout rounds, which decide the eventual champion.
This is a return to the league’s traditional format after the previous season used a shorter, truncated structure.
When Will the Full ISL 2026-27 Schedule Be Released?
Fixtures for the ISL are typically released a few weeks before the season kicks off, once broadcast and travel arrangements are finalised.
The league has not announced a fixture release date. The complete schedule will be published through the official ISL and AIFF channels before the season begins.
- Match dates for the league stage
- Kick-off times for each fixture
- Venues for every match
- The broadcast schedule for TV and streaming
Until that announcement is made, only the season’s start date and overall duration are confirmed.
Where to Check the Official ISL Schedule?
Once the fixtures are released, they will first appear on official league and federation channels. The most reliable places to check are listed below.
- The official Indian Super League website
- The AIFF website
- Official club social media channels
Conclusion: The Phase 1 of ISL 2026-27 Is Scheduled To Start From 10 October 2026.
The ISL 2026-27 season is set to begin on 10 October 2026 and will run through to April 2027, with the league returning to a full home-and-away format across its 14 teams.
The detailed match fixtures are expected to be announced closer to kickoff, once travel and broadcast arrangements are finalised. This page will be updated with the official fixtures, match dates, and venues as soon as they are released, so check back for the latest schedule updates.
