East Bengal FC will begin their campaign against Northeast United FC.

The Indian Super League (ISL) 2025–26 schedule has been revealed by the All-India Football Federation (AIFF). On February 14, 2026, the season will start, and two games are planned for that day. Fans across the country can now start circling dates, planning away days, and counting down to kick off as the league prepares to return with its trademark energy, passion and drama.

The management of East Bengal FC have selected Kishore Bharti Krirangan(Kolkata) as their home venue instead of the Salt Lake Stadium for this season.

East Bengal will get their campaign underway, with a high-profile home clash against Northeast United FC at the Kishore Bharti Krirangan, Kolkata on February 16, at 7:30 PM, while their marquee Kolkata derby match against the arch-rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant is scheduled for May 3, towards the end of the delayed tournament this year at the Salt Lake Stadium (VYBK) at 7:30 PM.

Fixtures of Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26

Single leg Home-Away format

AIFF has released the official schedule up to the 12th game-week, the last group stage matches of this year’s campaign are yet to be released. After consulting with participating clubs and pertinent stakeholders, the fixtures have been determined.

Each of the 14 competing teams will play 13 matches in a single-leg round-robin format. This structure promises a tightly packed and competitive campaign, where every fixture could prove to be a decisive one. Most of the double headers are scheduled to be played on Saturdays and Sunday (Except One: The Kolkata Derby match between Mohun Bagan SG and East Bengal FC).

Few double headers are also scheduled to be played on Mondays and Fridays. The league’s best finishers will be crowned the ISL 2025-26 winners. FanCode will provide live streaming for all 91 games.

East Bengal are set to play nine home matches at the Kishore Bharti Krirangan followed by one away match at the Saltlake Stadium against the Mariners and three more away games out of Kolkata in this season. But the venue of the match against Mumbai City FC has not been decided yet as well as the dates of the last group stage fixtures are yet to be released.

Apart from their opening game against Northeast United FC in the opening game of the ISL campaign, there are some other eye-catching matches that East Bengal fans will be desperately waiting for. The long-awaited Kolkata Derby against Mohun Bagan is scheduled to take place on May 3, which will be the 11th game-week of the ISL campaign.

The mini-Kolkata Derby between Mohammedan SC and East Bengal will be taking place on March 21, 2026, at the Kishore Bharti Krirangan. East Bengal will play a repeat of the 2025-26 Super Cup final, against FC Goa, on March 5, 2026, at the Kishore Bharti Krirangan (Kolkata).

Red and Gold Brigade will also be hosting Bengaluru FC at the Kishore Bharti Krirangan on April 16, in what might be a huge game in terms of implications on the ISL title race. Another big match waits for East Bengal, only five days after the big derby against Mohun Bagan-against the Islanders, Mumbai City FC, which will take place on May 8 at 7:30 PM.

So, with the schedule in hand, Oscar Bruzon and his players will try to find that extra edge or the magical touch with which they can bring back the silverware to the Leslie Claudius Street’s club tent and make their supporters happy again.
