The 2023–24 Indian Women's League will be the seventh season of the Indian Women's League, the top division women's professional football league in India.[1]
Format
Season will be played in a double round-robin format, with each club playing the other twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 12 matches. It'll be the first IWL season to be played on Home & away basis, as so far all IWLs have been held at centralised venue.
Qualification
The teams were awarded direct qualification for the 2023–24 season, which qualified for the knockout round and finished in the top eight positions in the 2022–23 season.[2] Originally 8 teams qualified for the season, but Eastern Sporting Union didn't communicate with AIFF on their participation and thus the League Committee decided to continue with the remaining 7 teams for the season.[3]
