The top four teams from the 2018–19 ISL regular season had qualified for the playoffs. The semi-finals took place over two legs while the final was a one-off match at the Mumbai Football Arena.

The defending champions from last season, Chennaiyin, failed to qualify for the playoffs this season and thus were not able to defend their title. This was also NorthEast United's first playoff appearance.
