Mumbai City Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is part of the City Football Group. The club competes in the Indian Super League, the top tier of the Indian football league system. They are the first club to win both the League Winners Shield and the ISL cup title in a single season, which it accomplished in the 2020–21 season. They were the first team to win the ISL league winners shield twice.

In 2020, Sergio Lobera was announced as the manager for the new season and they won the ISL league winners shield and the ISL Cup title for the first time during the 2020–21 Indian Super League season.

Des Buckingham who was appointed as the head coach before the 2021–22 Indian Super League season, led the team to two wins in the 2022 AFC Champions League making Mumbai the first Indian team to win a game at the AFC Champions League group stage, and ended up finishing second in the group, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the next round. In 2022–23 Indian Super League, Des led Mumbai to an 18-game unbeaten streak, the longest ever in the history of ISL and thereby won the second shield for Mumbai within 2 years after topping the league.

Following the departure of Des Buckingham to Oxford United FC on 16 November 2023, Czech coach Petr Kratky was appointed as the new head coach. In his first season, he lost the ISL Shield on the final day with a defeat against Mohun Bagan, but won the ISL Cup against the same opponent.
