The fourth edition of the Super Cup, rebranded as the Kalinga Super Cup, is set to begin on Tuesday, 9 January 2024 in Odisha and will be held across two venues. The group stage will comprise 16 teams, all 12 clubs from the ISL and four from the I-League, with the winners progressing to the semi-finals. The final of the competition is scheduled for January 28, 2024, with the winning team qualifying for the AFC Champions League 2. Odisha FC are the defending champions. The Kalinga Super Cup is being held at a unique time during mid-season with the AFC Asian Cup happening in Qatar simultaneously.
Certain ISL clubs like Mohun Bagan Super Giant, Mumbai City and Bengaluru FC will send players in bulk for the national team participating in the Asian Cup. Keeping the absence of Indian players in mind, the number of foreigners to be included in the starting lineup has increased in the Super Cup. The clubs can register up to six foreign players in the match-day squad with clubs able to use all six from the start. In case, more than five foreign players are selected, then at least one of these players must hold the nationality of a Member Association of the Asian Football Confederation.
