Searching for “Pak vs India football match today”? Here is the honest, current answer: there is no Pakistan vs India football match today (11 October 2026). But the next one is close — the neighbours meet in the group stage of the SAFF Championship 2026 in Dhaka this November. This guide has the confirmed fixture details, the group picture, and what to watch for when the Pakistan vs India football rivalry resumes.
Quick answer: No Pak vs India football match is scheduled today. The next meeting is at the SAFF Championship 2026 in Dhaka, Bangladesh (4–17 November 2026) — both teams were drawn in Group B with Maldives on 1 August 2026. India won the last meeting 4-0 at SAFF 2023 in Bengaluru.

The Fixture: Date, Venue, Tournament
- Tournament: SAFF Championship 2026 (15th edition)
- Venue: Dhaka, Bangladesh
- Dates: 4–17 November 2026
- Fixture: Pakistan vs India — Group B, group stage, November 2026
- Draw: 1 August 2026, Thimphu, Bhutan
Note: early fixture listings have shown slight variation in the exact group-stage date ordering (Pakistan vs India and India vs Maldives across November 5 and 11), so treat the precise date as provisional until the SAFF confirms the final match schedule. What is certain: the neighbours meet in Dhaka in November, in a competitive tournament, for the first time since 2023.
Group B: The Standings Picture
Group B contains three teams — India, Pakistan and Maldives — with the top two advancing to the semi-finals on 14 November. The final is on 17 November. For Pakistan, the arithmetic is simple: results against Maldives and India decide everything. For India, defending champions chasing a record-extending tenth title, anything less than topping the group would be a shock. Group A comprises hosts Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan — with Nepal’s participation depending on FIFA lifting its suspension of the All Nepal Football Association.
What to Watch For
- Can Pakistan score? The Shaheens’ problem in this fixture has rarely been pure defending — seven draws prove they can resist — but turning resistance into goals against India.
- India’s new era. The Blue Tigers are now coached by Khalid Jamil, who has been blooding young players. A derby is an unforgiving place to experiment.
- The Chhetri factor. Sunil Chhetri headlined the 4-0 in Bengaluru and scored his 95th international goal against Maldives in March 2025. If he plays in Dhaka, Pakistan’s defence will know exactly who to watch.
- Nerves vs form. The head-to-head record (16-2 to India) says one thing; a one-off derby in a neutral venue says another. Pakistan have nothing to lose — the most dangerous kind of underdog.
