The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has proposed to the Supreme Court to commence the football season with the Super Cup, with the new league season expected to begin in December. The decision on whether the Indian Super League (ISL) remains the top tier depends on FSDL's participation in an open tender for a commercial partner.

AIFF and FSDL have submitted a joint proposal to the Supreme Court, outlining the roadmap for Indian football's future. The plan covers the new season kickoff, commercial partner selection, and financial commitments.

The AIFF and FSDL met to discuss the 2025-26 football season. Both parties are confident in reaching a mutually agreeable proposal. This proposal will be submitted to the Supreme Court on August 28. The ISL's 2025-26 season was previously put on hold, creating uncertainty. The future of Indian football depends on the court's directions.

The AIFF and ISL organizers, FSDL, have been given the green light by the Supreme Court to discuss the Master Rights Agreement (MRA) to ensure the upcoming ISL season proceeds without further roadblocks. AIFF aims to negotiate mutually agreeable measures with FSDL before the next hearing on August 28, 2025, to resolve the uncertainty that led to clubs facing financial difficulties.
