The Indian Football League (IFL) 2025-26 season has kicked off with a strong vision to recreate the domestic football glory that defined the Indian Football ecosystem.

The Indian Football League continues with another exciting Match Week 4 round of fixtures from March 17 to March 20. Match Week 4 has a total of five matches. In the previous match week, the table shook up very fast as the newcomers Diamond Harbour FC are the new table toppers in the Indian Football League.

Recent matches, Chanmari FC halted a draw against Dempo SC as well as Aizawl FC got a stalemate with Real Kashmir. In a dramatic encounter, Rajasthan United defeated Namdhari FC and Sreenidi Deccan outplayed Gokulam Kerala as visitors.

But at the last game in Matchweek 3, Diamond Harbour FC thrashed Shillong Lajong FC at their home 2-1 to book the spot at the very top of the table.

Here is Khel Now presenting a Match Week 4 preview in the Indian Football League.

After a narrow defeat against Diamond Harbour FC at home, the Meghalaya-based club fell apart and was currently placed fifth on the table. And, talking about Chanmari FC, they held on to a draw against Dempo SC.

This match will be a key to figuring things out for both teams as they will be looking for the three important points as the league slowly takes shape. Chanmari FC will enter the match as favourites cause of the attacking brand of football they have played in this season.

Sreenidi Deccan FC vs Namdhari FC (March 19)

On the other hand, Sreenidi edged past Gokulam Kerala as visitors. Namdhari FC are in the ninth position in the Indian Football League table. They have shown resilience despite suffering narrow defeats in recent matches. They will be eager to bounce back and could be a threat against Sreenidi Deccan.

Aizawl FC vs Diamond Harbour FC (March 20)

The table toppers will now clash against Aizawl FC, who have had a mixed season since the start on March 20, 2026, from 16:00 IST. After thrashing Shillong Lajong FC at their home, Kibu Vicuna and company are set to settle down the tough challenge against Aizawl FC, who currently sit right behind Sreenidi Deccan FC.

A brief look at the IFL 2025-26 points table

The team that was at the bottom of the IFL table after Matchweek 1 now find themselves atop the points table after Matchweek 3. Sreenidi Deccan are placed second with six points too. Failing to convert the draws into wins proved costly for Chanmari and Aizawl as they lost their pole position in the table.
