Mohun Bagan SG vs East Bengal FC Live Streaming: When & Where to Watch ISL 2025-26 match Live?

Clash for the ISL 2025-26 season’s title

The Biggest game in Indian football, the Kolkata Derby (Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal), is set to be played at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK), where the most successful two sides will meet for another time. But this time has been different as the match between them is an ISL 2025-26 season’s title-deciding clash. Any of them who can pull the victory at Salt Lake stadium will automatically be the clear contenders for the title, as then one match will remain in their hands.

East Bengal FC, which has emerged as a top-flight team with immense performance this season under the Spanish coach Oscar Bruzon, will be ready to face Sergio Lobera’s side. A pure tactical Spanish battle at Kolkata. The Mariners have two back-to-back draws, which were held by FC Goa and Inter Kashi in their past games. The spoiled points on that game might be the reason for Mohun Bagan’s standing right now. On the other side, the Red and Gold Brigade also shared points over Punjab FC in their last game when they hosted the Shers. The two Kolkata sides have dominated the league this season and have consistently occupied the top two positions on the league table.

All eyes on VYBK on Sunday, May 17th, 2026, when East Bengal will set to play against their arch-rivals Mohun Bagan SG in an ISL 2025-26 title-deciding clash. The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:30 IST.

The Clash of the Titans

Two of India’s biggest and brightest football side who has the pure footballing passion and emotion with them. The blood vessels of their supporters’ bodies are marked red and gold or green and maroon whenever these two play against each other. The Kolkata derby is like a festival. As both of them will meet each other for the 11th time in the Indian Super League, but this time it will be different. If we look at the past years, no match was as vital as it will be on May 17th as the ISL title is on the fate.

It could be the first ISL trophy for East Bengal FC if they beat Mohun Bagan. But the equation is not as simple as this. East Bengal FC undoubtedly played the best football in this ISL season, with players like Miguel Figueira, Kevin Sibbile, and MD. Rashid, Bipin Singh, Edmund and the goal machine for them is Youssef, who emerged as their game changer. But the last game over Punjab FC was quite surprising as the Torchbearers struggled on many occasions against the mid-block. It will be a good plan for Mohun Bagan to play against East Bengal. The absence of Saul Crespo haunts them in the Punjab fixture, but he might start the derby. Coach Oscar Bruzon will look to put in every possible effort to clinch all three points, as the title then goes to them. A win, of course, would be a huge confidence boost for East Bengal to take a step closer to the title, and also a draw wouldn’t be the worst result for them.

Meanwhile, Mohun Bagan SG struggled a lot with their finishing and chance creation from their past two games as they faced FC Goa and Inter Kashi FC. But in Derby, they will put their best possible efforts as head-to-head stats are on their side in the ISL. Winning the next two games will put them in a spot from where they can easily bag their third straight ISL win. Against a defensively balanced team like East Bengal FC, they need to be more focused on clinical finishing.
