A long away run until ISL action returns to Guwahati
The Highlanders starts their preparation for a season that promises both challenge and opportunity for them. With 13 group-stage matches to be played in a single-leg home-and-away format, the campaign is set to be intense and unforgiving, where consistency and character will play a decisive role in shaping the team’s journey.
The schedule presents an interesting test for Northeast United FC, with a long run of away games at the start of the season before the focus gradually shifts to home fixtures. The Highlanders are set to play 7 matches at home and 6 away from home, making it vital to turn their home ground into a stronghold as the season unfolds. Navigating the early travel-heavy phase will demand resilience and smart squad management, as the team looks to stay competitive from the outset.
Northeast United FC will have to wait until 15 March for their first home appearance of the season in Guwahati, when they host Jamshedpur FC. That fixture is expected to be a key moment, offering the squad a chance to reconnect with their supporters and build momentum after a demanding opening stretch on the road.
The Highlanders will kick off their ISL 2025–26 campaign with a high-intensity Eastern Derby away against East Bengal FC on 16 February in VYBK, Kolkata, a fixture that sets the tone early. Their group stage games will conclude at home on 17 May, with Northeast United FC welcoming Mohammedan SC for a thrilling game, giving the team an opportunity to finish their league campaign in front of their own fans after a long and testing journey.
