Only six Indian Super League (ISL) teams are participating this year: East Bengal FC, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, NorthEast United FC, Jamshedpur FC, Punjab FC, and Mohammedan SC. This marks a sharp drop from the previous edition, which had included all 12 ISL sides. Alongside them, three I-League clubs—Diamond Harbour FC, Shillong Lajong, and Namdhari FC—have earned spots in the competition.
Notably, the lineup also includes institutional and regional teams like Indian Army FT, Indian Air Force FT, BSF FT, ITBP FT, Indian Navy FT, Bodoland FC, and Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC. The tournament features additional contenders such as TRAU FC, NEROCA FC, Real Kashmir FC, Rangdajied United FC, South United FC, and 1Ladakh FC, with two foreign service teams joining the fray to add an international edge.
NorthEast United FC, the defending champion, begins its campaign on August 2 against a foreign team yet to be named. Key fixtures across the group stage include Mohun Bagan SG vs Mohammedan SC on July 31, East Bengal vs Namdhari FC on August 6, and Shillong Lajong vs NorthEast United FC on August 8. Fans will also be watching the clash between Mohun Bagan SG and Diamond Harbour FC on August 9 with great interest. The final stages are mapped out with quarterfinals on August 16 and 17, followed by semifinals on August 19 and 20, and the title decider on August 23.
The stage is set. Mark your calendars. 🗓
