In the ISL, teams earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. The point tally accumulates throughout the league stage, which typically runs from October to March each season.
The team with the highest number of points at the end of the league stage is crowned the League Winners and receives the prestigious League Winners Shield. Additionally, the top six teams based on points qualify for the playoffs, where they compete for the ISL championship trophy.
This point-based ranking system has been instrumental in developing competitive football culture across India, with clubs from various cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Goa participating in the league. |
