Changes from last season

*This was the first season where the promoted I-League winner competed, thereby increasing the number of participating teams to 12. Punjab FC was promoted to the Indian Super League by winning the 2022–23 I-League.

*The league was played around eight months for the first time, primarily due to the breaks taken during the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and 2026 World Cup qualification matches.

*As per the new AFC Club Competitions Ranking structure, ISL clubs will not be eligible for a slot in the AFC Champions League; instead, the league champions will qualify for the AFC Cup group stage, rebranded as ''AFC Champions League Two''.

*From this season onwards, defending League Shield winners wear the champions badge instead of the defending cup winners.

*From this season onwards, no star is used in the tournament logo of the club jersey based on the number of ISL title of that club.

Teams
