Format
Competition format consists of a Qualifying round, Group stage and a knock-out stage. Group stage featured 16 teams across the top two divisions of Indian football. All 12 from the ISL qualify directly for the group stage. Among the I-League teams confirming their participation (Gokulam Kerala FC, Sreenidi Deccan FC, Shillong Lajong FC, Inter Kashi, and Rajasthan United FC), the top three per 2023–24 standings on 24 December qualify for the group stage. The remaining two teams contested a single-leg qualifying play-off to determine the fourth and final I-League team in the group stage.[citation needed]
The 16 qualified teams were drawn into four groups of four each, competing in a single round-robin format, with group winners making it through to the semi-finals.[3]
