The tournament will take place on two different pitches in the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar: Kalinga Stadium Pitch 1 and Kalinga Stadium Main Pitch.
This will be the fourth time Bhubaneswar is hosting the tournament, which was renamed the Kalinga Super Cup in 2024 and last year, East Bengal won the title after defeating Odisha FC 3-2 in extra time.
There will be 16 teams vying for the title, 13 from the Indian Super League (ISL) and 3 from the I-League in the Kalinga Super Cup 2025. The single-elimination format is being used this year, with the Round of 16 serving as the first round. Teams have been seeded based on their final 2024–25 ISL campaign rankings. The top-seeded ISL teams, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, FC Goa, and Bengaluru FC, will face the three I-League representatives, Churchill Brothers FC Goa, Inter Kashi, and Gokulam Kerala FC. On Wednesday, April 9, these matches will be decided by a draw.
Defending champions East Bengal will take on Kerala Blasters in the first match of the Super Cup.
The quarterfinals are set for April 26 and 27, with the Round of 16 matches taking place on April 20, 21, 23, and 24. The grand finale is scheduled for May 3, and the semi-finals are scheduled for April 30. Matches will go straight to penalties if there is a draw at the end of regulation time in any knockout round other than the final. If necessary, extra time will be allowed during the final, and if the deadlock persists, penalties will be applied.
Details regarding the tickets and live streaming telecast are yet to be revealed. All the winners of the Kalinga Super Cup are awarded a plaque and a Rs 2,50,000 cheque as recognition for their outstanding achievements in the tournament.
