Indian Super League
Season2025–26
DatesTBD

The2025–26 Indian Super League will be the 12th season of theIndian Super League (ISL), the fourth season as the only top division and the 30th season of top-tierIndian football.

In June 2025, theFSDL formally informed the ISL clubs and theAIFF that the 2025–26 season was on hold due to unresolved contractual issues, ahead of the expiry of theMaster Rights Agreement in December.[1][2] After the intervention of The Supreme Court of India, which requested both parties to resolve the issues between them and start the 2025–26 season as quickly as they could, both parties have now promised that the new season will start in December.[3][4]

The season is now expected to be delayed even further or not even take place this season after no bids came in for a tender for commercial partners floated by the AIFF.[5]

Changes from last season

[edit]
  • No franchisee fee payment shall be applicable from 2025 to 2026 season, either for founding or non-founding participating teams.
  • Promotion and relegation will be introduced from this season onwards in accordance with the roadmap of theAFC. Relegated clubs will get support in terms of parachute payments by the AIFF as per time spent in the competition.[6]
  • TheAIFF also mandates the implementation of afootball video support system for the next five years, which could be followed byVAR, with a nod from the federation, in 2031.[7]

Teams

[edit]

Fourteen teams are competing in the 12th season of Indian Super League – thirteen from the previous season and one promoted from theI-League.Churchill Brothers were initially declared the provisional champions of theI-League by AIFF, but the decision was later overturned by theCourt of Arbitration for Sport who declaredInter Kashi as champions.[8]

On 7 October 2025,Hyderabad FC announced its relocation toDelhi and rebranded toSporting Club Delhi.[9]
