Truncated season will have less matches as compare to the previous
Streaming on FanCode but TV rights yet to be made official
The Indian Super League (ISL) is back after months of chaos and media outcry. The shortened 2026 season, which is into its 12th edition, kick-starts from February 14 with 14 teams participating with new side, Inter Kashi FC, also in the mix.
The road to the new season was not so smooth. Football Sports Development Limited (FDSL)'s Master Rights Agreement with the All India Football Federation (AIFF) expired in December 2025, and the failure to get it renewed saw the future of ISL thrown into full-blown crisis.
However, AIFF created a short-term plan, which was approved by the Asian Football Federation (AFC), that saw the ISL finally get underway.
Here's What Changed For The New ISL Season!
Short Format: ISL 2026 will see only 91 matches being played with 14 teams playing 13 matches (once against every other team).
Value Dropped: The ISL value has dropped considerably! Last season, per match cost was INR 1.69 crore however, this season it has reduced way further, to INR 9.5 lakhs. FanCode will be streaming all the ISL 2026 matches, whereas Kaleidoscope Services have acquired the production rights.
Prize Money Cut-off: The prize money for the ISL Shield winner will be INR 3.5 crores, as compared to a whopping INR 15.5 crore for the previous seasons. The runner-up will get INR 1.5 crore.
Drop In Salary: Many top clubs including Bengaluru FC, FC Goa have introduced salary cuts.
