The match will be held at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Stadium in Kolkata on Monday (August 17). But, Tulkalam rain (Rain in Kolkata) has fallen across the city since morning. If the match is lost in this situation, what will be the result? Can Mohun Bagan Super Giant go to the semi-finals? Let’s find out more about that.
What does the rule say?
If the 2026 Durand Cup quarter-final Mohunbagan Super Giants vs Jamshedpur FC match is a draw at 90 minutes, extra time will not be played.

If the game is not possible due to rain usually:
- First the referee will visit the field and try to start/restart the game.
- If it is not possible to finish the match on the scheduled day, the organizers will take the next decision according to the competition rules.
- If a match is abandoned it cannot be settled by direct penalty. According to FIFA rules, abandoned matches are usually replayed unless the competition rules state otherwise.
However, nothing is officially known about the specific rain-abandoned matches or replay facilities of the 2026 Durand Cup. So if the Mohun Bagan-Jamshedpur match is completely washed away by rain, it is not right to say for sure how the match will be replayed on the exact day.
