Odisha FC vs Inter Kashi: When and where to watch the ISL 2025-26 live?

Odisha host Inter Kashi in their first home game of the season

Odisha FC will begin their 2025–26 Indian Super League campaign at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, hosting Inter Kashi, the reigning I-League champions, on February 24th, 2026. The match, scheduled to kick off at 7:30 PM IST, marks the Juggernauts first outing of the new season and presents an immediate test against a side stepping into the ISL with momentum and confidence after their draw against a strong side like FC Goa.

Odisha FC approach the fixture in a transitional phase following a disrupted build-up to the 2025–26 Indian Super League season. Off-field uncertainties and delays saw them miss the AIFF Super Cup and begin pre-season only in mid-February, limiting preparation time.

On the pitch, the departure of head coach Sergio Lobera, several foreign players, and key domestic names has led to a reshaped squad. Under new head coach TG Purushothaman, Odisha FC have brought in a handful of fresh signings and promoted youth players as they look to stabilise and find rhythm as the season unfolds

What to expect from the clash?

Inter Kashi entered the 2025–26 Indian Super League season from a position of stability, in contrast to their opponents. Fresh off their I-League title, the club retained clarity both on and off the pitch, continuing under head coach Antonio López Habas.

The club preserved much of its Indian core, and added four new foreign signings, and retained key overseas players Humanes and Barco to ensure continuity.

Inter Kashi opened their ISL campaign with a 1–1 draw against FC Goa, a result that reflected a strong debut performance. For long periods, Kashi looked capable of securing all three points, before FC Goa drew level from the penalty spot following the dismissal of Luis Tarres.

Despite the late setback, Habas would have taken positives from the display, with his side showing composure and competitiveness in their first outing at the top tier of Indian football.
