Times of India·Saturday, 1 August 2026
Jamshedpur FC have confirmed they will not play in the 2026-27 Indian Super League season after choosing not to pay a ₹55 lakh participation fee under the league's new club-led model. The former ISL Shield winners said they will continue supporting grassroots football and will honour existing player and staff contracts. Meanwhile, Inter Kashi have paid the fee and will take part.
Why It Matters
This signals a major shift in how the ISL is structured, and fans of Jamshedpur FC will lose their team from the top flight for at least one season.
