East Bengal FC vs Mohun Bagan Live Streaming: Where & when can you watch IFA Shield 2026 Final Kolkata Derby live?

Salt Lake Stadium to witness another Shield winner on the 8th October

Another competition(IFA Shield 2026) in the Indian football circuit, and in the final, another Kolkata Derby is being played as both historical sides are all set to face each other again after the Durand Cup 2026 Final, where the Red & Gold Brigade simply punished the Mohun Bagan side relying on Edmund Lalrindika’s hat-trick in the first 45 minutes itself.

A total of six teams were featured in the tournament this season to share the pitch as they were all hoping to create a legacy in the IFA Shield as the competition has etched its place in history books from the pre-independence era in India and also carries a distinguished charm to be considered the third oldest football tournament in India after the Durand Cup and the Trades Cup.

From those very six teams from different parts of the country, only the Kolkata sides have placed their names in the Final 2026 showdown.

East Bengal FC are all set to battle it out against their arch-rivals Mohun Bagan in the IFA Shield 2026 Final clash on Thursday, 8th October, 2026, from 18:15 IST, as the game will be hosted by the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata, which recently witnessed India’s historical clash against Brazil & Uruguay.

Mohun Bagan aims for the Durand Cup’s redemption

This clash will mark the second straight IFA Shield final to be contested between these two sides after the 2025 Final, where the Mohun Bagan side got the taste of victory to lift their last Shield title, while the Red & Gold side, who have been on a beautiful run after beating NorthEast United FC 7-2 after conceding the first goal, will look for their 30th record Shield title.

For East Bengal FC, it will be a very good opportunity to test themselves as they are the only Indian side that is playing the most number of competitions along with the AFC Champions League Two 2026-27 season and not only that, the Antonio Lopez Habas’s squad also has the capability to do a good performance in every competition they are in.

With a steady lineup and a compact result after they defeated the Highlanders at home, registering a comeback over them, the Red & Gold side are all set to play their best attacking brand of football.

Meanwhile, this will be time for Mohun Bagan to take revenge for the old scar caused by East Bengal when they thrashed the Green & Maroons in the Durand Cup 2026 Final, but this might be the chance for Panos Dilmperis and company to put a strong foundation and make the thing possible and clinch their IFA Shield title for a second consecutive time.

For them, as they have played against Punjab FC, that would not be enough to surpass a quality side like East Bengal; they need to show more different things, as their former coach knows them very well.
