Epic Kolkata Derby Set to Ignite Super Cup Group Stage

The Kolkata Derby promises to illuminate the Super Cup's group stage as longstanding foes Mohun Bagan and East Bengal find themselves in Group A for yet another showdown, marking their third encounter within six months.

Sharing the group with Chennaiyin FC and Real Kashmir FC, this anticipated match is set to take place on October 31 at Goa's iconic Fatorda Stadium. Mohun Bagan is scheduled to play their group matches on October 25, 28, and culminating with the derby on the 31st.

In addition to the intense Group A, the Super Cup will see other equally competitive matchups across its four groups, with the opening match and final also taking place at Fatorda. This tournament, revamped as the starting point of the Indian domestic season, will offer its winners a chance to compete in the AFC Champions League 2 qualifiers for the 2026-27 season.
