The 2024 Durand Cup and the 133rd edition of the tournament kicked off on 27 July 2024 for another rollercoaster ride. Once again, the competition is contested by all 13 ISL teams with two teams from the I-League participating. Two state teams, six armed forces teams and one foreign team are also participating in the competition. All clubs are divided into four groups with the top-placed teams and two best runners-up qualifying for the quarter final stage. The final will be played on 31 August 2024.
The Durand Cup has been used as a preparatory competition before the league season begins. Some have opted to use their reserve squad for the competition while others have decided to use their main team in willingness to win the silverware. Mohun Bagan Super Giant are the defending champions and are record winners of the Durand Cup after beating arch-rivals East Bengal in the 2023 final.
