Season on hold, ISL clubs told

Hindustan Times Bengaluru

|

July 12, 2025

Issued by Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), AIFF’s commercial partners and organisers of ISL, the letter informs clubs that since discussions on the “potential renewal of the MRA (master rights agreement)...remain inconclusive at this time”, the season has been “placed on hold.” HT has a copy of the letter sent on Friday.

- Dhiman Sarkar

The letter explains that since the 15-year MRA is due to expire on December 8, 2025, “approximately one-third of the way through a typical ISL season which runs from September to April”, it would not be possible for FSDL to “effectively plan, organize or commercialise the 2025-26 ISL season.” The decision “has not been taken lightly,” the letter states.
