Single leg Home-Away format

The ISL 2025–26 season will be contested in a single-leg home-and-away format, with each team playing a total of 13 group-stage matches. This structure promises a tightly packed and competitive campaign, where every fixture could prove decisive.

For Mumbai City FC, the road ahead presents a demanding test, with the Islanders scheduled to play 5 matches at home and 8 on the road. Such a balance places a premium on squad depth, tactical flexibility, and mental resilience, as the team navigates varied playing conditions and hostile away atmospheres across the country.

Despite having fewer home fixtures, Mumbai City FC will be keen to make maximum use of their matches in familiar surroundings, where fan support and comfort can often provide the extra edge. At the same time, the heavy run of away games will challenge the Islanders to maintain consistency and intensity, particularly during congested periods of the schedule.

Mumbai City FC’s group-stage campaign will kick off on a positive note with a home fixture against Chennaiyin FC on 19 February. The opening match offers an early opportunity to build momentum and set the tone for the weeks ahead, as the Islanders look to assert themselves from the very start. A strong beginning could prove vital in a format where there is little room for error, and every point carries significant weight.

From there, the journey stretches across multiple cities and venues, testing the squad’s adaptability and resolve. The group stage will conclude with an away clash against Punjab FC in May, marking the end of a long and demanding run that spans nearly three months.

As Mumbai City FC progress through the campaign, consistency, discipline and timely performances in crucial moments will be central to shaping their fortunes in the ISL 2025–26 season and make a good impact in these tough times.
