ISL Returns as Bengaluru Beat SC Delhi 3-2
In brief
The Indian Super League returned on Saturday with a five-goal opener as Bengaluru FC beat Sporting Club Delhi 3-2 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium. An 89th-minute winner capped a comeback after months of uncertainty about the domestic season.
According to India Today, the league is streaming all matches free on YouTube this season, alongside Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV. Linear TV coverage was still awaiting final regulatory clearance. The opening broadcast eventually passed about 5 million views, with concurrent viewers climbing past 70,000 late in the game.
The restart follows India’s recent friendlies against Panama, Brazil and Uruguay, which drew attention back to the national team. Next up, FC Goa host Chennaiyin FC in Fatorda.
Organisers hope free streaming will turn opening-day buzz into lasting weekly audiences. Match facts on this page are for information only; always check the league for official fixtures.
Why it matters
