I'm a big Formula 1 fan, but recently, I’ve decided to dive into football since it's such a popular and exciting sport. Being new to it, I have a few questions.

1. Where can we watch football in India?

I know there are platforms like FanCode, Hotstar, SonyLIV, and Jio Cinema, but I’m not sure which ones show football matches.

2. How do I follow all these matches?

There seem to be a lot of leagues and tournaments—way more than I expected. All I knew before was "FIFA," but it looks like there’s much more to it.

Can someone guide me on how to navigate all these leagues and where to watch them? I'm completely new to football, so any advice would be appreciated!

Which other countries have subreddits like ours for football?

Kozhikode versus Kochi in the ultimate showdown of the first season of Super League Kerala. Kick-off is at 8 pm at Kozhikode Corporation EMS Stadium. Live streaming will be available on the Disney+ Hotstar app and website.

Their recent form in the AFC Challenge League gave me hope that they could put up a fight today. They had a real good chance from a free kick before all hell broke loose as both of our wingers were shown a red card. But the way our defence and goalkeeper stood strong for the next 61 minutes was the testament of our team's newfound strength (and a little bit of help from Mohamedan missing those easy chances). I do we can nick points from some other matches but what a performance from our defence, especially Gill and Hijazi.

I have question like for next ISL season will clubs from I-league will be promoted to ISL, to expand ISL league if so how many clubs will be promoted?????

I thought the matches between Kolkata clubs are always packed.

Can someone explain to me why can't ISL have a normal video referral system. Maybe we don't have the VAR tech, but since there are enough cameras available for every game, shouldn't it be allowed to refer atleast twice in one game? I don't buy the "flow of the game" argument, since Field hockey is also very fast and intense game, but they can challenge the referee's decisions. Can someone give me the reason?
