The Durand Cup Organising Committee announced the fixtures, setting the stage for another exciting edition of Asia's oldest football tournament. Featuring 24 teams across six groups and five host cities, the tournament will be played from July 25 to August 23, bringing together India's leading clubs, Services teams, emerging football institutions, and international participation in a month-long celebration of football.
Hosted across Kolkata, Ranchi, Imphal, Shillong, and Guwahati, this year's Durand Cup once again reflects the tournament's expanding national footprint while remaining firmly rooted in the football heartlands of eastern and northeastern India. The group stage combines established powerhouses, ambitious newcomers, Services teams, regional champions, and international participation, underlining the unique character that has defined the tournament for well over a century.
