What the competition is
ISL is not the Indian national team’s international calendar and is unrelated to cricket’s IPL. The official about page describes the football league, while the fixtures page provides the active season selector. Participant totals and scheduling can change, so a historical overview should not be turned into a current-season promise without checking the actual competition entry.
Following the competition
Keep the season and football competition name with a reminder. An abbreviated ISL search can be less clear than a full club fixture. India’s published local start can then be converted for the Australian city where the match will be followed. League, cup and continental commitments should remain separate in a club watchlist.

| Sport | Association football, not IPL cricket. |
| Participants | Domestic clubs rather than India’s national team. |
| Season selector | Separates the current campaign from historical results. |
| Programme | Use the actual published fixture rather than an old assumed calendar. |
