Odisha FC to host NorthEast United at Kalinga Stadium in ISL 2026-27 on Oct 24

Odisha FC will welcome NorthEast United to the Kalinga Stadium in the Indian Super League 2026-27 on 24th October (Saturday), with kick-off scheduled for 7:30 pm IST. The Kalinga Warriors are chasing their first victory of the season while the visitors arrive after consecutive wins.

The match takes place in the Temple City of India as Odisha seek to improve on a start that yielded a 1-2 loss to Punjab FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi and a 1-1 draw with Inter Kashi last weekend. The draw against Inter Kashi provided Odisha their first point of the season. T. Purushothaman’s side have dropped points in both games after conceding late goals and will be aiming to finish matches more strongly against NorthEast United.

NorthEast United have won their opening two ISL fixtures and occupy the top spot in the points table. Their results so far are a 1-0 win against Mohun Bagan and a 4-1 win against the Kerala Blasters. Juan Pedro Benali’s side are regarded as favourites on paper for this fixture.

Historically, the Kalinga Stadium has not been a happy hunting ground for NorthEast United, a detail noted ahead of the encounter. Odisha FC and NorthEast United FC do not have any big injury concerns amongst their ranks going into this matchup at the Kalinga Stadium. The absence of major fitness issues leaves both coaches with broad selection options for the game.

The match will be played at the Kalinga Stadium on 24th October (Saturday). The game will kick-off at 7:30 pm IST. It will be streamed live on YouTube and Sony LIV, with international viewers able to watch the game on YouTube for free.
