The 2014 Indian Super League season, officially known as the 2014 Hero Indian Super League season for sponsorship reasons, is the first ever season of the Indian Super League, the Indian professional league for association football franchises, since its establishment in 2013. The season started on Sunday 12 October 2014 and will conclude on Saturday 20 December 2014.[1]
Team auctions
When the Indian Super League was started in October 2013, it was announced that the eight teams would be bought through an auction to take place before the end of 2013.[2] The nine cities that were up for bidding originally were Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Guwahati, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Pune.[2] However, due to the delay of the start of the Indian Super League from January 2014 to September 2014, the bidding for teams did not begin till 3 March 2014.[3] Interested bidders would have to gain a tender form for an Indian Super League team. Professional services corporation, Ernst & Young, were given responsibility of looking over the forms.[3]
On 13 April 2014, the winning bidders were announced.[4] The most expensive city to be won was the Kolkata team, which was won by a group which contained former India cricket player Sourav Ganguly, businessmen Harshavardhan Neotia, Sanjiv Goenka, Utsav Parekh, and Spanish La Liga side Atlético Madrid, for approximately 18 crores.[5] The base price of each team was set at 12 crores each.[5] Another former India cricket player, Sachin Tendulkar, alongside PVP Ventures, won the bidding for the Kochi team.[5]
Bollywood stars also won bids for teams. John Abraham, partnering with Shillong Lajong, won the bidding for the Guwahati team.[5] Kayque Garbacchio Saldanha, Ranbir Kapoor, alongside Bimal Parekh, won the bidding of the Mumbai[6] team while Salman Khan won the Pune team with the Wadhawan Group.[5] The Delhi team was won by DEN Networks while the Bangalore team was won by the Sun Group. The Goa team, finally, was won by a three-way partnership between Videocon, Dempo, and Salgaocar.[5]
Then, on 14 August, it was announced that the Bangalore franchise would disband and on 21 August it was confirmed that Bangalore would be replaced by Chennai team which is owned by Abhishek Bachchan, partnering with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Vita Dani.[7]

Subrata Pal, Syed Nabi, and Gouramangi Singh were the more expensive picks during the draft.[9]
