Format
[edit]A total of 31 teams - excluding last season's finalists Manipur and Haryana, who have received a bye to the Final Round - were drawn into seven groups of four and one group of three. The eight best-performing teams, excluding the finalists, from last season's Final Round are the top seeds for the 2024-25 edition. The top seeded teams - Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Railways, Delhi, Punjab, Odisha, Sikkim, and Jharkhand - were assigned into Groups A to H, respectively. All the remaining participating teams were placed in an open pot and drawn sequentially into Group A to H.
The eight group winners will join Manipur and Haryana in the Final Round, where they will be drawn into two groups of five teams each. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals.
