Burdwan Blasters is an Indian professional football club based in Burdwan, West Bengal, that competes in the Bengal Super League (BSL). Founded on 8th July 2025, the club is one of the eight inaugural franchises of West Bengal's first district-centric professional football league, organized by the Indian Football Association (IFA) in collaboration with Shrachi Sports.[2]
History
The club was established to represent the Bardhaman region in the newly formed Bengal Super League. The franchise was unveiled on 8 July 2025 as part of a ten-year agreement between the IFA and Shrachi Sports to professionalize district football.[2][3] Burdwan Blasters played their first competitive match on 15 December 2025 against Sundarban Bengal Auto FC, narrowly losing 1–2.[4] They secured their first point of the season in a 1–1 draw against FC Medinipur on 18 December.[5]
