Real Kashmir Football Club, the Sony LIV drama inspired by the creation of a professional football team in Kashmir, has been nominated in the Drama Series category at the 2026 International Emmy Awards. The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced its nominations on 23 September.
The category and the next date
The Academy lists the Indian series alongside A Thousand Blows from the United Kingdom, Carême from France and Menem from Argentina. It credits Sony LIV, Jaya Entertainment and Oshun Entertainment for the Indian entry.
Winners will be announced at the 54th International Emmy Awards Gala in New York City on Monday, 23 November 2026. A nomination is not an award win.
A regional story on screen
Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Manav Kaul lead the series, which premiered on Sony LIV on 9 December 2025. For readers following filmmaking in J&K, this is a regional screen-production milestone, not a Jammu-city sporting result.
Correction, 27 September: an earlier version said the ceremony date and venue were unannounced. The Academy has confirmed the date and city above. Unsupported generalisations about local filmmaking infrastructure have been removed.
