East Bengal Win the Championship
One of the biggest stories from the 2025–26 indian super league standings was East Bengal reaching at the top. This Kolkata-based outfit managed 7 victories, 5 draws and just a solitary defeat.
East Bengal had the best attack in the tournament with a total of 30 goals scored over their 13 matches. They again proved hard to beat and remained solid defensively, conceding just 11 times.
The title was sealed on the final day with a 2-1 win against Inter Kashi. After going down in the opening minute, East Bengal recovered well before completing the comeback post half-time.
The result saw them finish their league campaign on a high with 26 points overall.
Mohun Bagan Just Miss Out
Mohun Bagan also finished on seven wins, five draws and one defeat with 26 points. In their last match they beat Sporting Club Delhi 2–1, but were unable to overtake East Bengal.
Their defensive record was excellent. Mohun Bagan’s tally of just nine goals conceded is joint-lowest in the competition.
Both the Kolkata clubs were so hot right until the last matches that the title race was still open. A fraction of a game apart in their overall records eventually divided the top two spots.
Mumbai City Fall Adrift by a Point
Mumbai City FC, with 25 points finished 3rd in the table just a single point behind the top two clubs. They managed to win seven matches and see just nine goals behind.
They ended their season with a 2–0 win over Punjab FC, but earlier dropped points robbed them of the title.
That they could only manage a third place is indicative of how tough the campaign was. That additional draw or win could have pushed Mumbai City to the top.
The Strongest Top Seven Contenders
4 BENGALURU FC (27-37) = 23 17 GMs, 20 RDFs They drew five while losing just twice, a situation that rendered their title challenge unlikely.
Jamshedpur FC and Punjab FC finished with 22 points each. Jamshedpur finished fifth under the competition’s tie-breaking rules, despite Punjab having a superior overall goal difference.
FC Goa rounded out the top seven on 20 points. Five draws were solid defensively, but they needed to turn those into wins if the top sides were in their sights.
Mid-Table Results
With five wins and six losses, Kerala Blasters ended the season in eighth place with 17 points. An irregular campaign was illustrated by a negative goal difference.
Ninth was NorthEast United with 16 points. They finished on a high note by winning their last match, 2–0 against Mohammedan Sporting.
Inter Kashi sat in 10th on 13 points. They have three wins under their belts but only 11 goals, which makes climbing the table tricky.
Struggles Near the Bottom
Odisha FC and Sporting Club Delhi both finished with 11 points. Both teams won twice and drew five matches against each other.
Chennaiyin FC: 13 — 9 pts They only managed nine goals and suffered eight defeats.
Mohammedan Sporting had the toughest season among all. They played three games, lost ten and conceded 32 goals. According to the competition rules that season, they were relegated for a last-placed finish.
