Changes from last season

• This is the first season where it is no longer mandatory for ISL clubs to include at least one player from a member association of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).^[5]

• Besides doing away with the Asian quota, the ISL has also increased the salary cap from Rs 16.5 crore to Rs to 18 crore, with two players, either domestic or international, from each club outside the salary cap. Until last season, only a marquee player's salary was outside the cap. The new guidelines will allow clubs to spend freely on international players, without having to worry about the salary cap.^[6]

• As per the Asian Football Confederation roadmap, relegation was to start in the ISL from 2024-25, but the AIFF decided not to implement it this season.^[7]

13 teams compete in the 11th season of Indian Super League: 12 from the previous season and one promoted from the 2023–24 I-League.^[8][9]
