East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan Live Score, Durand Cup 2026: The Indian domestic football season kicks off with the century-old Durand Cup entering its 135th edition. The curtain-raiser features two of the oldest teams of this country, East Bengal FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giants, facing off for the 402nd time in history at their home, Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Salt Lake, Kolkata. Thousands of supporters will be at the venue to witness the iconic derby in the Durand Cup 2026 opener.
Former Mohun Bagan manager Antonio Lopez Habas will take the managerial hot seat at the East Bengal dugout this time, having replaced Oscar Bruzon earlier this year. The Mariners also have a new face at the helm — Panagiotis Dilmperis, who succeeded Sergio Lobera.
Ahead of the Durand Cup 2026 clash, both managers admitted that not all of their players would be available. However, they will pick their best XI with an aim to start the season on a positive note.
East Bengal and Mohun Bagan last met in a crucial ISL game on the penultimate matchday of the last season and played out a 1-1 draw after a chaotic 90 minutes in Yuba Bharati. With both teams going through a leadership transition, the situation would be completely different this time. Though several foreigners have already arrived, it will be interesting to see how Habas and Lobera use their Indian resources.
