Durand Cup 2023 Final, East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan: When and where to watch
In what is the biggest Kolkata derby in years, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan face off in the Durand Cup 2023 final on Sunday (September 3).
Durand Cup 2023 Final: The football world comes to a standstill whenever East Bengal and Mohun Bagan meet. More so if the world-famous Kolkata derby happens to be the final of Asia's oldest football tournament.
After a month of skirmishes between 24 clubs in Indian football, the title clash again pits the two traditional heavyweights to decide the champions of the 2023 Durand Cup.
East Bengal have found new life through this ongoing Durand Cup campaign. They started off with a 2-2 draw, but then created a shock of sorts by beating their city rivals in the earlier group match. A solitary goal by Nandhakumar Sekar gave EB a 1-0 win in the last Kolkata derby in the group stages. That win ended an eight-match losing run for East Bengal in the Kolkata Derby.
But since then, Mohun Bagan have battled past setbacks to also move into the final and earn a rematch and a chance to set the balance of the derby right again.
The winner of Sunday's final will also claim bragging rights as the most successful team in Asia's oldest club football tournament as both are currently joint-record holders of 16 Durand Cup titles each.
