Mohun Bagan SG to host Jamshedpur FC in Durand Cup 2026 quarter-final

Mohun Bagan SG are set to face Jamshedpur FC in a Durand Cup 2026 quarter-final at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Monday, 17 August 2026, with kick-off at 16:00 IST. The match will be broadcast live on Sony Ten 2 and streamed online on SonyLIV.

Mohun Bagan dominated their group, beating East Bengal FC 1-0 in their Durand Cup opener Kolkata Derby and then edging past South United and CISF Protectors without conceding a goal in the group stage. The Mariners enter the knockout phase determined to win the tournament under their new head coach. New signing Miguel Figueira, who joined the Green and Marron from East Bengal FC, is not fully fit for the game.

Panos Dilmperis and Kaizad’s sides will both aim to carry forward form into the quarter-final. Mohun Bagan will host the Men of Steel at Salt Lake in front of their supporters, a setting the report describes as very tricky for Jamshedpur FC. Both teams are looking to prove their point in an important knockout fixture.

Jamshedpur FC lost their second group game against SC Delhi after Hnamte scored a very late brace to seal the first win for the ISL capital side. That defeat leaves Jamshedpur preparing for this knockout match against Mohun Bagan. The Red Miners plan to rely on their natural gameplay and players like Sanan to score and defend as a unit to protect the goalpost from Mohun Bagan’s attacking transitions.

Jamshedpur FC have decided to exit ahead of the new ISL 2026-27 season, stating they will not be taking part in the next season’s Indian Super League and will look to close down their football operations. The decision was made by TATA’s higher authority, the report states. Social media reaction followed the announcement, with coverage noting the club’s rich culture and an exciting fanbase.

A victory for Mohun Bagan would set up a Durand Cup 2026 semi-final against either NorthEast United FC or Shillong Lajong FC.
