The 2023–24 Indian Super League was the 10th season of the Indian Super League (ISL) and the 28th season of the top-tier Indian football. It commenced on 21 September 2023 and concluded with the ISL Cup final on 4 May 2024.
Mumbai City were the defending champions whilst Mohun Bagan were the defending cup winners.
Mohun Bagan became champions by winning their first ISL shield and sixth Indian title overall by topping the league table with a record 48 points. Mumbai City won their second ISL Cup, defeating Mohun Bagan 3–1 in the final. Also Mumbai City became the first club to win to ISL Cup through winning all knockout matches.
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 lasted for around eight months–the longest in its history, 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 Twelve teams competed in the league: eleven from the previous season and one promoted from the 2022–23 I-League.
Promoted from 2022–23 I-League Punjab
