The '''I-League 2008–2009''' season began on 26 September 2008 and finished on 16 April 2009 with a break in December for the Federation Cup and [[Durand Cup]].  Most games this season were played on Saturday's and Sunday's to attract larger crowds.  After a successful first season for the I League, the second season featured 12 teams from four cities – again this would be expanded in the 2009–10 season to 14 teams.

The champion in the [[I-League]] qualified for the [[AFC Champions League 2010#Qualifying play-off|AFC Champions League 2010 qualifying playoffs]] in 2010, while the bottom two teams were relegated to [[I-League 2nd Division]] for the next season.
