Abstract: In this paper, we consider state and control path-dependent stochastic zero-sum differential games, where the dynamics and the running cost include both state and control paths of the players. Using the notion of nonanticipative strategies, we define lower and upper value functionals, which are functions of the initial state and control paths of the players. We prove that the value functionals satisfy the dynamic programming principle. The associated lower and upper Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) equations from the dynamic programming principle are state and control path-dependent nonlinear second-order partial differential equations. We apply the functional It^o calculus to prove that the lower and upper value functionals are viscosity solutions of (lower and upper) state and control path-dependent HJI equations, where the notion of viscosity solutions is defined on a compact subset of an $kappa$-H"older space introduced in cite{Tang_DCD_2015}. Moreover, we show that the Isaacs condition and the uniqueness of viscosity solutions imply the existence of the game value. For the state path-dependent case, we prove the uniqueness of classical solutions for the (state path-dependent) HJI equations.
