The 2025-2026 season of the Indian Football League will be broadcast on Sony Sports Network


The rest of the inaugural season of the 2025-2026 Indian Football League, formerly the I-League, will air on the Sony Sports Network after Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) acquired the television and digital rights for the league.

Earlier this year, FanCode had also sub-licensed the linear TV rights for the Indian Super League to the media conglomerate.

“The addition of the IFL reinforces the network’s long-term commitment to growing football fandom in India by bringing fans at every level closer to the sport,” SPNI said in a statement.

SPNI’s football portfolio now includes the ISL, IFL, Durand Cup, UEFA EURO 2028, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Nations League, Bundesliga, FA Cup and more.

Ahead of the season, the I-League was restructured and renamed the IFL, with the clubs becoming majority stakeholders in the venture.

Diamond Harbor currently leads the standings with 19 points from eight matches, with just one round remaining for the second phase. The 10 participating clubs will be divided into two groups, one for the championship round and the other to decide on relegation.
