The ISL Kolkata derby between MBSG and EBFC has been rescheduled, with organisers announcing a change in the fixture due to "unavoidable reasons". The match, originally slated for May 3, 2026, will now be played on May 17, 2026.

According to the revised schedule, Match No. 76 will still feature MBSG taking on EBFC, with no change in venue or kick-off time. The game will continue to be held at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) in Kolkata, with kick-off set for 19:30.

The earlier schedule had listed the high-profile Kolkata derby on May 3 at the same venue and time. However, the updated fixture moves the contest two weeks ahead while retaining all other details.

The Kolkata derby is one of the most anticipated fixtures in the league calendar, and the rescheduling ensures that Match No. 76 will now take place on May 17, 2026, at 19:30 at VYBK, Kolkata.

Fans planning to attend or follow the match are advised to take note of the new date.
