Notes:
  1. ^ On 27 September 2025, AFC announced that Mohun Bagan SG were considered to have withdrawn from the AFC Champions League Two after they failed to travel to Iran to play their fixture against Sepahan in Isfahan, citing security concerns. Their single match played, a 1-0 defeat to Ahal, was annulled and all their remaining matches were cancelled.[3] This was the second year in a row that Mohun Bagan had been withdrawn from the competition for refusing to fulfil a fixture in Iran.[4] In December 2025 the AFC banned Mohun Bagan from entering the following season's AFC competitions, meaning they will not be eligible to re-enter the Champions League until the 2027-28 season[5]

Notes:
  1. ^ On 27 September 2025, AFC announced that Mohun Bagan SG were considered to have withdrawn from the AFC Champions League Two after they failed to appear for their fixture against Sepahan in Isfahan. Their single match was voided.[6]
  2. ^ As per Article 4 of entry regulations for AFC’s club competitions, each club needs to play a minimum of 24 matches per season in the domestic top division that runs for at least eight months, to receive direct slots in AFC club competitions. Since Indian clubs will have played just 19 games, the ISL winners will enter the qualifying stage of the ACL2 instead of the group stage.
  3. ^ Mohun Bagan are banned from AFC competitions until the 2028–29 season due to refusing to travel to Iran to fulfil their 2025–26 AFC Champions League Two fixtures.[7] If Mohun Began become ISL champions, the ISL league runners-up will instead qualify for the AFC Champions League Two preliminary stage.[8]
  4. ^ Goa qualified for the AFC Champions League Two qualifying playoffs as the 2025–26 AIFF Super Cup winners.[9]
