Season concluded with matches remaining due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Chennai City were the defending champions, having won the previous season.[2] TRAU joined as a promoted club from the I-League 2nd Division.[3] Shillong Lajong were relegated from the I-League last season and will play in the second division in the 2019–20 season.[4] 2017-18 champion Minerva Punjab played as Punjab from this season as the club was renamed on 30 October 2019.[5]

On 18 April 2020, All India Football Federation, the organising body of the league announced Mohun Bagan as champions and decided to cancel the remaining matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No team was relegated, and the remaining prize money (apart from the champion's prize money) was equally divided among the 10 teams.[1]
