The 2025-26 Indian club football season kicks off with the Super Cup on October 25, with East Bengal FC taking on Dempo SC at the GMC Bambolim Stadium. This edition of the Super Cup will take place completely in Goa, and will conclude in November.
With the uncertainty surrounding the Indian Super League and the AIFF's commercial partners still ongoing, it is of no surprise that the broadcast is also an unusual one. Games at the Fatorda will be broadcast on JioHotstar, while those at Bambolim will be live-streamed on YouTube.
All 13 ISL clubs are set to participate, with Dempo SC, Gokulam Kerala and Rajasthan United joining them to make a total of 16 teams, split into four groups. The dates for the knockout stages are yet to be announced, with the group stage concluding on November 6. The Kolkota derby takes place on October 31, while defending champions FC Goa begin their campaign on October 26.
