Indian Super League (ISL) will enter its 10th edition when Bengaluru FC clash against rivals Kerala Blasters in the South India derby on September 21. ISL 2023-24 edition will be different as it will have a record 12 teams after the promotion of Punjab FC from the I-League, India's second-tier football league, at the end of last season.
Kerala Blasters will host the Sunil Chhetri-led Bengaluru FC in the curtain-raiser clash at Kochi's Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium on September 21 while the champions Mohun Bagan Super Giants will take on debutant Punjab FC at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium on September 23 to kick off their title defence.
All ISL teams featured in the recently concluded Durand Cup 2023 where Mohun Bagan beat their city rivals East Bengal in the final to clinch the record-breaking 17th title. Mohun Bagan are tipped as favourites to retain the ISL trophy after enjoying a hugely successful transfer window with the likes of star midfielders Sahal Abdul Samad and Anirudh Thapa arriving in record transfer deals.
