Kochi: Kerala Blasters FC look to build on the momentum of their first win of the season when they face a struggling NorthEast United FC on Vishu (Kerala New Year) in Match 57 of Indian Super League 2025-26 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The kick-off is scheduled for 19:30 IST.

The match will be streamed live on FanCode and telecast on Sony Sports TEN 2.

Kerala Blasters, under their new head coach Ashley Westwood, have shown signs of improvement after having a horrid start to the season; they managed a single point from their first seven matches. The Englishman has injected new energy into the squad, which has been evident in their previous two fixtures.

The Yellow Army secured their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Bengaluru FC away. Currently sitting 13th in the standings with four points, a victory on Wednesday would help them create some breathing space from the relegation zone.
