ISL 2025-26: How to buy tickets for Punjab FC's first home game against NorthEast United FC

The Shers will take on Highlanders in their ISL match

Indian Super League (ISL) action is set to return to the national capital with the onset of the early spring season. In the new ISL season, Delhi will host two ISL teams from North India, Punjab FC and Sporting Club Delhi, who have been relocated and rebranded from Hyderabad FC after the takeover by BC Jindal Group.

Punjab FC kick-started their season with a slender defeat to Jamshedpur FC and a recent win over defending finalists Bengaluru FC in their last two away games.

The Shers are set to make a return to their fortress in the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.

As football fever begins to sweep through the national capital, we take a look at how you can purchase tickets for Punjab FC’s first home game against NorthEast United FC.

Tickets are free on District App by Zomato

Punjab FC will kick off their home campaign at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, where the Shers will lock horns with the reigning Durand Cup champions, NorthEast United FC.

A total of 300 home tickets and 200 away tickets in the East Lower Stand are up for grabs for the big game against the Highlanders.

Fans can head to the District App by Zomato and purchase the tickets. The tickets are free of cost and will be served on a first-come, first-served basis. The match is scheduled to start at around 7:30 PM IST, and the gates will open at 5:30 PM IST, two hours before the scheduled kick-off time.

Punjab FC eye big win over Highlanders in Delhi

The home team have started the season on an optimistic note. After a slender defeat to Jamshedpur FC, Dilmperis’ boys went on to secure all three points in a difficult away fixture against Bengaluru FC in the Sree Kanteerva Stadium after a brace from Effiong Nsungusi.

The Highlanders, on the other hand, will be without the services of their main striker, Ajaraie, who was phenomenal last season and is out on loan. The Highlanders faced a 3-0 defeat to East Bengal in the opening game before playing two draws against Bengaluru FC and Mumbai City FC.

The Shers have assembled a strong squad and their core Indian players, including the likes of Md Uvais, Nikhil Prabhu, Vinit Rai, Princeton Rebello and Leon Augustine look solid on the pitch.

The Shers will leave no stone unturned to give a late Holi present to their home fans in their first outing in the national capital.
