The eISL makes its comeback with the second season starting on February 28, 2023. The season kicks off with title-holders Chennaiyin FC taking on Mumbai City FC in a blockbuster contest. It is one of the six matches scheduled for the opening week of the esports tournament.
The league stage of the eISL Season 2 will be played online, while the playoffs, played similar to the Indian Super League playoffs format, will be a LAN event in Delhi on May 6 and 7.
All matches will be played on EA Sports’ FIFA 23 game. The eISL champions will qualify for the EA Sports FIFA 23 Global Series (FGS) play-in tournament.
Season 2 of the tournament will consist of 62 matches, including 55 league-stage games and seven playoff encounters.
Mumbai City FC have announced a new lineup of players for the upcoming season with Aditya Chadha and Saksham Rattan. Karman Tikka, a former Islander, will don the colours of Chennaiyin FC going forward.
Charanjot Singh and Saransh Jain, who represented India at the FIFA Global Series last year, will don Bengaluru FC and NorthEast United FC colours, respectively. Ex-Machan Saransh Jain lifted the eISL trophy with Chennaiyin FC in Season 1.
Meanwhile, Arvind S will play for Jamshedpur FC and Shayantan Mondal is set to feature for East Bengal FC in eISL Season 2.
The eISL Season 2 league stage ends on April 26, 2023, after East Bengal FC’s match against Bengaluru FC.
