The fixture brings Mohun Bagan’s home match of the season and Chennaiyin’s third consecutive away game.

Mohun Bagan began the ISL 2026-27 campaign with a 1-0 defeat to NorthEast United before beating SC Delhi 2-1 in their most recent outing, leaving them sixth in the table on three points. Chennaiyin FC opened their season with a 1-1 draw against FC Goa and then lost 2-0 to Bengaluru FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, leaving them with one point from two matches.
