Changes from last season

edit
  • Each club has the option of signing a minimum of five and a maximum of seven foreign players. Still, unlike the previous season, there should be at least one overseas player who hails from an AFC–affiliated country.
  • The maximum squad size is increased as the clubs are allowed to register up to 35 players in their squad.[2]
  • The number of substitutions allowed has been increased from 3 players to 5 players.[3]
  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all matches during the 2020–21 season will be played behind closed doors across three venues in Goa.[4] The venues will be the Fatorda Stadium in Margao, the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim, and the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco da Gama.[5] The host venues for each team were revealed on 18 August 2020.[6]
  • In June–July 2020; KGSPL, the owners of ATK, officially disbanded their football team and bought a majority stake in Mohun Bagan FC (India) Private Limited and rebranded Mohun Bagan football section as ATK Mohun Bagan which took the spot of ATK
  • On 27 September 2020, East Bengal joined the league as an expansion team and thus became the 11th team.[7]
  • Due to all the matches of the League being played in neutral venues, there will be no away goal rule to be applied in the playoffs this season.
