Before the start of the season, East Bengal was very active in the transfer market. The club roped in some quality domestic and international players and started their preseason early in July. The season began with a semi-final exit in the Durand Cup, followed by two final defeats via penalty-shootout in the IFA Shield and AIFF Super Cup. The club then began the Indian Super League campaign with two victories in the first two matches. The club suffered only one defeat in the campaign followed by a ten-match undefeated run till the final match against Inter Kashi where East Bengal won 2–1 to lift the title. Youssef Ezzejjari won the golden-boot of the league with eleven goals and Miguel Figueira was awarded with the best player of the league golden-ball award.
