The Indian Super League (ISL) is a men's professional football league, which is the top tier league in Indian football system.[1] It started in 2014.[1]
The league currently comprises 14 clubs. Each season of the tournament generally runs from September/October/November to May. During the league stage of the competition, each club plays against all the other clubs in a round-robin style. At the end of the league stage, the team with the most points gets declared the Premiers and presented with a trophy named League Winners Shield, and the top four clubs qualify for the play-offs. The season then culminates with the ISL Final to determine the Champions who are presented with the ISL Trophy.[2]
