Full fixtures list of Mohun Bagan Super Giant for Durand Cup 2026
Mohun Bagan SG will begin their Durand Cup 2026 campaign on 25th July
The fixtures for the 135th edition of the Durand Cup have been released officially. As things stand, Mohun Bagan SG are set to lock horns against East Bengal in their opening game. This will be the biggest match of their group stage of the tournament.
The Mariners failed to deliver in ISL 2025-26 with their performances, as East Bengal won the title in the final matchday. But the current scenario is different. They are now looking to turn the tables in the Durand Cup 2026.
Take a look at the Durand Cup 2026 fixtures of the Green and Maroon Brigade.
Mohun Bagan SG aims for the title
Mohun Bagan SG have been drawn together with East Bengal FC as they will face each other in the first match of the Durand Cup.
The Kolkata Derby is ready to open the campaign, as this might possibly be the biggest game in the tournament. With one of the strongest squads in Indian football, the Mariners will be among the favourites to win the cup, along with East Bengal and NorthEast United FC.
On 25th July 2026 at the Salt Lake Stadium, the first game of the tournament will start. Mohun Bagan SG are set to battle it all out against East Bengal FC.
The clash between these two historic clubs is expected to be the standout fixture of Group A, with both sides aiming to kick off their campaign on a winning note. The Kolkata Derby has always produced unforgettable moments in the Durand Cup, and this edition promises to be no different as both teams look to gain an early advantage in the race for the knockout stage.
However, the group is far from being a two-team contest. Alongside East Bengal FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant, Group A also features CISF Protectors and South United FC, two sides capable of causing major upsets.
While the Kolkata giants enter the tournament as favourites, underestimating either of their opponents could prove costly. CISF Protectors will be eager to make a statement against top-tier opposition, while South United FC have built a reputation for playing fearless football and nurturing talented young players.
Every point will be crucial in a group where a single slip-up could significantly impact the qualification race, making each fixture just as important as the much-anticipated derby.
The Mariners will lock horns against South United FC in their second match on 4th August from 19:00 IST at the Salt Lake Stadium. And against CISF Protectors, they will play on 10th August, from 16:00 IST.
