RFDL 2025-26: South Region Qualifiers Full Fixtures & Kick-off time

The Regional Qualifiers for the South Region will begin on 22nd December

The RFDL(Reliance Foundation Development League) returns for its fifth iteration in the 2025-26 season. It is one of the key youth tournaments in the Indian football calendar, as many youth teams across the country get to test their skills against others of their age group.

With 54 teams participating across nine regions of India, including professional clubs, historic state sides, and grassroot academies, the RFDL is set up nicely to showcase India’s young talent. Mohun Bagan managed to win the last edition of the tournament. 

The 54 participating teams represent 17 states and union territories, as teams from Jammu & Kashmir make their maiden appearance in the competition. In the Northeast, Manipur will see the return of competitive football, while teams from Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are part of the mix too.

The tournament will start with the regional qualifiers featuring 135 matches. This will be followed by the zonal and national group stages before culminating in the national championship, where the top four teams will contest the title.
