The fifth edition of Indian Super League will get underway from Saturday, 29 September. Two-time champions ATK will take on Kerala Blasters in the season’s opening night.
With the focus more on football, the ISL organising committee this year has done away with the opening ceremony this time.
A total of 10 teams – Mumbai City FC, FC Pune City, Delhi Dynamos, Bengaluru FC, Northeast United FC, Jamshedpur FC, Kerala Blasters, Chennaiyin FC, FC Goa, and ATK, will be taking part in this year’s edition.
The entire schedule of the fifth season is yet to be announced. Only the dates of the matches which will be played in 2018 have been released. The dates of the remaining matches that will be played in 2019 will soon be released by the organisers.
The League has moved away from double headers on weekend this season, with kick-off for all matches at 7:30 pm (IST).
