The All India Football Federation has published the Indian Super League’s 2025-26 fixture list, setting a 91-match season that starts on February 14, 2026. (the-aiff.com) The opener is Mohun Bagan Super Giant vs. Kerala Blasters at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on February 14, and the league phase runs in a single-leg round-robin format. Fourteen teams will play 13 matches each, with the table-topper crowned league champion. (the-aiff.com) The AIFF said the fixtures were finalized after consultations with clubs and other stakeholders, and it labeled the list a “tentative” schedule in coverage cited by ESPN. Sporting News published a match-by-match schedule, results tracker, points table and viewing guide after the release. (espn.com) (sportingnews.com) The format is different from the home-and-away league seasons Indian football fans saw in earlier ISL campaigns. A single-leg schedule cuts each club’s league slate to 13 games and reduces the regular season to 91 total matches. (the-aiff.com) (sportstar.thehindu.com) Broadcast plans are part of the rollout. The AIFF said all 91 matches will stream live on FanCode, while Sporting News separately reported Sony Sports Network as the television broadcaster in India. (the-aiff.com) (sportingnews.com) Sporting News reported that FanCode secured the season’s TV and streaming rights for INR 8.62 crore, with KPS Studio handling world-feed production. That turns the fixture list into more than a fan calendar: it fixes match windows for crews, venues and sponsors across the season. (sportingnews.com) The release also gives clubs a working map for travel and stadium operations. Dates and kickoff slots determine when teams move between cities, when venues can reset between events, and when commercial partners can schedule activations around matchdays. (sportingnews.com) For supporters, the practical takeaway is simple: the season calendar is now public, the opening match is set for February 14, and the standings race will be decided over 13 games per club. The rest of the season now moves from planning to execution. (the-aiff.com)
