Shillong Premier League 2026 season

Overview

The Shillong Premier League 2026 opened on July 24–25 with defending champions Langsning edging newly promoted Sawmer 1–0 at the SSA Stadium. Langsning, fresh from a runners–up finish in the Meghalaya State League, added ten signings including Asian Games midfielder Samuel Kynshi and prepared for a Durand Cup slot. The second round took place on August 3, when Sawmer met Rangdajied United at the same venue. Both sides, still winless after Sawmer’s opening loss and Rangdajied’s 1–1 draw with Meghalaya Police, fielded recent recruits such as Raikutshisha Buam, Banteilang Lyngdoh, Dameki Khongstia and defender Henryford Nongneng. The league’s action continued on August 5 with Match 7, where Laitkor FC overturned a 1–0 deficit to defeat Mylliem 3–1, scoring three second–half goals through Samborwell Mynsong, Hamingbert Nongbet and Risuk Malngiang. In parallel, Langsning’s Durand Cup campaign saw the club rally from 0–2 to draw 2–2 with Nongkseh SS&CC in a Group E Shillong derby, with goals from Mebanshngain Kurkalang and Syed Ahmed. By late August, Langsning secured a 3–1 comeback victory against Rangdajied United at the SSA Stadium. Meanwhile, Mawlai maintained their position at the top of the league standings following a 0–0 draw against Shillong Lajong. Mawlai extended their lead at the top of the standings on August 26 with a 2–1 comeback win over Mylliem. On September 9, Mylliem secured their first point of the season in a 3–3 draw against title contenders Shillong Lajong at the SSA Stadium. After Shillong Lajong opened the scoring via an Iohborlang L Lyngkhoi free-kick, Mylliem equalized through a Wanpynshngain Nongsteng header, ending Lajong’s 300-minute streak without conceding. Following a period where Lajong had a goal ruled out for offside, Mylliem took the lead through Shaibor Nongrum. Lajong equalized via Lalmuansanga, but Mylliem regained the lead through a long-range effort from Istarbor Marngar.
