Indian Football League 2025-26 Squad List

The new-look second division of the men’s football league in the country, the 2025-26 Indian Football League, is set to begin on 27 February 2026, with 10 teams competing for the title and promotion to the top division of the Indian Super League (ISL). Aside from Churchill Brothers, the rest of the sides have confirmed their participation for the season, including newly promoted sides Chamari FC and third-division winners Diamond Harbour FC. The appeal against the relegation of Delhi FC and SC Bengaluru from the Indian Football League was rejected, so the pair will compete in the IFL 2. 


Teams have built their squad to aim for the best, but the delayed season has disrupted preparation, with some teams like Shillong Lajong forced to play without foreigners, while others have failed to add the necessary quality or depth due to the crisis, bringing additional financial problems. Teams like Gokulam Kerala, who had players leaving at the last moment, have done their best amid hardship to organise a squad with notable foreigners returning and encouraging Indian signings. Diamond Harbour FC and Sreenidi Deccan have set up eye-catching squads, while Real Kashmir has established a good mix of foreigners and homegrown talents.
