Jr Boys' NFC: Dr BC Roy Trophy To Kick Off In Bengaluru, Narainpur On August 25
Dr BC Roy Trophy: The 2026 edition of the Junior Boys' National Football Championship (NFC) for Dr BC Roy Trophy, Tiers 1 and 2, will be held from August 25 to September 9, 2026. Tier 1 will be hosted at the Bangalore Football Stadium in Bengaluru, while Tier 2 will take place at the RK Ashram Ground in Narainpur, Chhattisgarh.
Both tiers will see 16 teams divided into four groups of four, with the group winners qualifying for the semi-finals.
Continuing with the promotion-relegation system implemented three seasons ago, the two finalists from 2025-26 — Uttar Pradesh and Assam — have been promoted to Tier 1 for 2026-27. They replace Tier 1's bottom two sides from last season — Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, who will compete in Tier 2 this season.
