The fifth edition of the Indian Super League will commence with two-time champions ATK taking on Kerala Blasters FC at Kolkata’s iconic Salt Lake Stadium on September 29.
The ISL on Saturday announced the fixtures for 2018-’19 until the mid-season break, featuring 12 rounds and 59 games. On September 30, last season’s runners-up Bengaluru FC will be up against defending champions Chennaiyin FC at Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru.
The organisers said the upcoming season will have three breaks, two for Fifa windows (8th-16th October 2018/ 12th-20th November 2018), and one starting from December 17, 2018 for the Indian team’s preparatory camp ahead of the AFC Asian Cup in United Arab Emirates.
They also said that the fixtures for 2019 will be announced later. The League has moved away from double headers on weekends this season, and the kick-off for all matches will be at 7.30 pm.
