The second phase of the Indian Women’s League 2025-26 will kick off on Monday, April 27, in Kolkata, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said on Thursday.
The proceedings will start with East Bengal FC versus Sribhumi FC, a fixture rescheduled from Phase 1, at the East Bengal Ground on April 27.
Phase 1, which was held from December 20, 2025, to January 9, 2026, saw 27 matches.

A further 29 matches will be played in Phase 2 from April 27 to May 18, with the eight teams playing each other in the second leg of the double round-robin format of the league.
