The 2025 AIFF Super Cup, officially known as the 2025 Kalinga Super Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the fifth edition of the Super Cup (India) and the 43rd season of the national knockout football competition organized by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). It featured all clubs from the top-tier Indian Super League and top clubs from the second tier I-League, serving as the main domestic cup competition for men's football in India.
FC Goa defeated the Jamshedpur FC 3–0 in the final to win their second national cup title. As the winners, Goa have qualified for the 2025–26 AFC Champions League Two preliminary stage.
Format The tournament will be played in a knockout format. The 13 ISL teams were seeded for the round of 16 according to their final league position in the 2024–25 season. Three I-League teams confirmed their participation – Churchill Brothers, Inter Kashi and Gokulam Kerala. They would face the top three ISL teams (Mohun Bagan, Goa and Bengaluru). These three match-ups were decided by a draw on Wednesday, April 9. Later Churchill Brothers announced they would withdraw from the Super Cup, citing "I-League title deciding controversy" as the reason. Mohun Bagan (No. 1 seed) were awarded a bye in the round of 16 and granted a direct entry into the quarter-finals.
In the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, no extra time will be played and any draws will be immediately resolved via penalties. In the final, if the score remains level after 90 minutes, two extra time periods of 15 minutes each will be played. If still level, the match will be decided by a penalty shootout.
