The season will open with a heavyweight clash as defending champions India On Track (IOT) face newly promoted Waves FC. The fixture brings together two contrasting stories — a dominant title-winning side starting its defense, and a rising club making its first appearance in the top tier. Waves FC earned promotion with an impressive run last season and will now test themselves against the strongest opposition possible in their very first match. IOT, meanwhile, will look to begin their campaign with authority and set the tone for another title challenge.

The opening round also features competitive fixtures across both groups, with established clubs, academy-driven teams, and ambitious challengers all set to begin their journey. Here are the first eight fixtures released by the MFA:
