Changes from last season

  • This is the first season where it is no longer mandatory to include at least one player from a member association of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).[7]
  • Besides doing away with the Asian quota, the ISL has also increased the salary cap from 16.5 crore (US$2.0 million) to 18 crore (US$2.1 million), with two players, either domestic or international, outside the salary cap. Until last season, only a marquee player's salary was outside the cap. The new guidelines will allow teams to spend freely on international players.[8]
  • 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.[9]
  • New home grown player category has been added – up to 3 of whom can be excluded from the salary cap. The homegrown players are U-23 players who have been registered with a team for consecutive 3 years.[10]
  • Maximum of one concussion substitution in a match per team, correspondingly the opposing team will receive an additional substitution opportunity.
  • Claim for wrongful dismissals for direct red cards has been introduced by the AIFF.
