3. There will be a single-leg playoff between the teams in third through sixth place to earn a spot in the semifinal.

The teams from 3rd to 6th position will be playing semifinal based on one leg method, considering that in mind Hyderabad FC and Mumbai City have already secured their berth.

For the remaining slot teams like Mohun Bagan, Kerala Blasters, FC Goa, Orissa, Bengaluru, Chennai FC are in contention to grab the ticket for semifinal.

ISL popularity has degraded in last few years and credit for this massive change is due to growing popularity of other leagues like PKL and PHL.
