Squad/club changes from last season:
- South Mumbai United → renamed Mumbai Dynamos
- Mumbai Athletico (took over Maharashtra Oranje FC’s academy side) → renamed Urban Force FC
- Promoted from First Division: Navanagar, Mumbai Warriors, Yawn FC, Catholic Gymkhana
With Somaiya FC promoted to the Mumbai Premier League, their Group B rivals and other group winners are among the favourites to fill the promotion places up for grabs in the new MFA Super League 2026 season.
