The Indian Super League (ISL) announced on Wednesday that all 163 matches of the 2026-27 season will be available live and free on YouTube, with the video platform joining the league as its digital streaming partner.
The move is aimed at expanding the ISL’s digital reach and making every match accessible to fans without a subscription, the league said in a press release.
The matches will also be available on Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV.
The 2026-27 season will feature 13 teams, with the first phase comprising 78 matches from October 10 to January 17.
Of these, 53 matches will be played on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays as part of a weekend-centric schedule.
The season will begin on October 10, with Bengaluru FC hosting Sporting Club Delhi at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. FC Goa will face Chennaiyin FC at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa in the other opening-day fixture.
The new season will also feature the ISL’s first-ever Goa Derby between Churchill Brothers and FC Goa. The league will also travel to Imphal, where NorthEast United FC will face Sporting Club Delhi at the Khuman Lampak Stadium on November 24.
The announcement comes days after the ISL entered into a partnership with MG Motor India as its new title sponsor. The league, which had been without a title sponsor for the last three seasons, has been renamed the MG Indian Super League.
With YouTube as the digital streaming partner, all 163 matches of the upcoming season will be available to viewers live and free.
