New Delhi, Dec 10(UNI) The much-anticipated Shooting League of India (SLI) is set to be held from February 16 to 26, 2026. Today’s announcement follows the earlier confirmation that the inaugural SLI has been moved to early 2026. The final dates now align to the ISSF’s published 2026 calendar to avoid clashes with major international competitions.

With mixed-team formats, compelling storylines, and a premium broadcast, we’re set to deliver a world-class opening season that welcomes international stars and inspires India’s next generation.”
