[3][4][5][6] The 2019–20 season was abandoned midway and the league was not held since then due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The new season saw reduction in number of games with a short format spanning over a month.
A total of 49 teams from 29 states and union territories participate in the tournament.
States and union territories without any teams include: Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Haryana, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.
Due to Group H having lesser number of teams, the results against the fifth-placed teams in five-team groups are not considered for this ranking.
