IWL 2025-26 will be played in two phases; The first phase starts in December


The 2025-2026 Indian Women’s League (IWL) season will be played in two phases, with the first phase taking place in the December-January period and the second in the April-May period.

The decision was taken at a virtual meeting between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and the IWL clubs on Thursday, with the exact dates of the first phase to be finalized later. More info: ygm2. Accordingly, the initial phase of the competition is likely to begin on December 20 and continue until January 6.

Both phases will likely be played in two centralized locations: one in each phase. Both stadiums in Goa – hosting the ongoing AIFF Super Cup – GMC Stadium in Bambolim and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao, have been discussed but a final decision on the venues of IWL is yet to be taken.
