India Vs Pakistan LIVE Streaming, SAFF U20 Championship 2026: When, Where To Watch Blue Colts In Action Today?

India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in a vital Group B fixture in the SAFF U20 Championship 2026 at the National Football Stadium in Male, Maldives, on Thursday. For the Blue Colts, this is a chance to get their competition underway on a winning note, while Pakistan face a do-or-die clash after their opening-day loss to Bangladesh.

The Green Shirts lost 2-0 to Bangladesh in the opening Group B fixture on March 24, with USA-born Ronan Sullivan scoring both goals. With only two matches in the group for each team, a second consecutive loss will end Pakistan’s campaign prematurely.

India, despite their dominance in age-group football against Pakistan and their pedigree as four-time winners of the SAFF U20 Championship, must guard against complacency. A loss will put the Blue Colts in a tricky situation ahead of their second and final group-stage game against Bangladesh on Saturday.

“India versus Pakistan is always a big match, but for us, we are treating it like any other game. Every match is important for us. So the focus is on starting the tournament well and making a positive beginning,” India U20 coach Mahesh Gawli said. “At the same time, we need to be cautious and play with composure and discipline.”
