Eight teams participate in the Indian Soccer League (ISL) in which they play one another exactly once. The winner gets three points while the loser gets no points from a match.

The teams are ranked in the following manner before the tournament starts:

The new ranks of the eight teams would be decided based on their performance in the ISL, with the team scoring the maximum points ranked 1 and so on. If two or more teams score equal points at the end of the tournament, their final ranks would be decided based on the total number of goals scored in the tournament, with more goals giving a team better rank.
