Currently not a part of the Indian football pyramid, the league serves as one of the top tournaments in India, along with the domestic I-League. The league runs from October to early December, with a finals series determining the champion in mid-December. The Indian Super League was founded in 2013 in an effort to make football a top sport in India and to increase the level of Indian football worldwide. The league currently features eight teams from around India, with four of the top five cities by population represented in the league. Unlike other football leagues from around the world, the ISL is one of the few leagues to not use the promotion and relegation system but instead a franchise system. |

Indian State Football Associations
The State Football Associations are the regional governing bodies of association football in India. There are thirty-six State Associations affiliated to the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The Services and Railways Sports Control Boards and the Women's Committee are affiliated units.
The State Associations have their own constitution and structure and these sometimes differ from those set down within the AIFF regulations. Depending on the size of the State, some State Associations have smaller district associations, such as the Mumbai District Football Association, that are affiliated to them. Clubs are normally affiliated to the district associations. However, in smaller States the Clubs are directly affiliated to the State Association.
Each State conducts its own competitions while at a district level the local association organises lower tier competitions.
