Jamshedpur FC Withdraws from Indian Super League Starting 2026-27 Season
Jamshedpur FC, owned by Tata Steel, announced it will exit the Indian Super League (ISL) starting from the 2026-27 season after missing the deadline to pay the Rs 55 lakh participation fee under the revised AIFF commercial framework. The club, which won the ISL League Winners' Shield in 2021-22, will cease its senior team operations but continue promoting grassroots football and youth development. The decision follows an extended payment deadline and leaves 13 clubs confirmed for the upcoming season, with Inter Kashi having paid their fees.
