The Durand Cup 2024 fixtures were announced on Friday, a day after the groups were revealed. The tournament will kick off with Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s match against Downtown Heroes on 27th July at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata. The group stage will conclude with defending champions Mohun Bagan SG facing East Bengal FC in a repeat of last season’s final on 18th August.

All 24 participating teams are divided into six groups of four each, totalling 43 matches in a round-robin league format followed by knockout games. Matches will be held across four cities: Kolkata, Kokrajhar, Shillong, and Jamshedpur, with the latter three hosting matches from one group each. Eleven teams from the Indian Super League (ISL), I-League, and armed forces from India, Nepal, and Bangladesh will participate in the tournament.

The group winners and the two best second-placed teams will advance to the knockout stage. In the previous edition, Mohun Bagan SG clinched their 17th Durand Cup title by defeating arch-rivals East Bengal FC 1-0.

Here’s a closer look at the fixtures.
