Overview

  • The 2025–26 Indian Super League remains on hold because the master rights dispute has stalled a formal season plan.
  • After a long meeting in Bengaluru, the parties said they will file a joint proposal with the Supreme Court on August 28, with another meeting expected beforehand.
  • Officials are discussing a stopgap path that could extend the current agreement and stage the Super Cup in October followed by an ISL kickoff in December to satisfy AFC match requirements, according to a club official.
  • Financial pressure is mounting as several clubs have paused operations or salaries, and the 11 ISL teams warned they could be forced to shut down without a near‑term resolution.
  • Ten I‑League clubs have pressed for promotion and relegation to be written into any new framework, citing the AFC roadmap in a letter to the court’s amicus.
