The 2015–16 I-League will be the ninth season of the I-League, the Indian professional football league, since its establishment in 2007. The season will commence on 9 January 2016, after the Indian Super League finishes, and will conclude in May 2016.[1]
Mohun Bagan will enter the season as the reigning champions while Aizawl and DSK Shivajians will enter the league for the first time in their history, Aizawl through promotion from the I-League 2nd Division and DSK Shivajians through a direct-entry spot.
Teams
After the 2014–15 I-League season, three-time I-League champions, Dempo, were relegated to the I-League 2nd Division.[2] Mizo club, Aizawl, were promoted from the 2nd Division earlier in May following a 4–2 victory over Chanmari.[3] DSK Shivajians were announced as the direct-entry club for this season on 12 November 2015.[4]
In August 2015, it was first reported that Pune clubs, Pune, and Bharat FC, the direct-entry side from the previous season, would be withdrawing from the I-League due to the lack of a "long-term vision" for the league.[5] Then, towards the end of October, it was announced that both Pune and Bharat FC had failed to compile to the AFC-licensing criteria needed to participate in the I-League.[6] On 21 November 2015, it was confirmed that Royal Wahingdoh, another debutant club from the previous season, were withdrawing from the league.[7]
