Must-Book Chennaiyin FC Home Games

- vs East Bengal, 7 Nov (7:30 PM): a Saturday night visit from the defending champions.
- vs Punjab FC, 21 Nov (5:00 PM): first home game after the international break, a good family weekend option.
- vs Odisha FC, 8 Jan (7:30 PM): a Friday night game in the final week of Phase 1, when playoff places will be on the line.
