The '''Indian football champions''' are the winners of the highest league in [[Football in India|Indian men's football]]. Currently two parallel football league system exists, namely '''[[Indian Super League]]''' (ISL) and '''[[I-League]]'''.

Though Indian football tournaments dates back to the eighteenth century, a proper league system was established in 1996 with the commencement of [[National Football League (India)|National Football League]] (NFL). Since its inception in the [[1996–97 National Football League (India)|1996–97]] season, the champions of the NFL were considered as the national champions. However, after the [[2006–07 National Football League (India)|2006–07]] season of the NFL, the league was rebranded as the [[I-League]]. Since [[2007–08 I-League|2007–08]] season, the I-League champions were considered the national champions until [[2016–17 I-League|2016–17]] season. Since [[2017–18 in Indian football|2017–18 season]] the [[Indian Super League|ISL]] became the joint premier football league of the country along with I-League. The ISL regular season premiers represents India in the [[AFC Champions League]] group stage, the I-League champions represents India in the [[AFC Cup]] group stage, and the winner of the Indian Super League’s play-offs gets a slot into the AFC Cup play-offs. However, the winners of the ISL play-offs are considered as the ISL champions since its inception in [[2014 Indian Super League season|2014]].

There are 12 clubs who have won either the National Football League or the I-League and 4 clubs who have won the Indian Super League since the league became the joint top division in India. [[JCT F.C.|JCT]] were the first club to have won any championship, winning the [[1996–97 National Football League (India)|1996–97 NFL]]. [[Mohun Bagan A.C.|Mohun Bagan]] and [[Dempo S.C.|Dempo]] are the most successful clubs, winning championships five times each. Mohun Bagan won the NFL thrice and the I-League twice, whereas, Dempo won the NFL twice and the I-League thrice. Also, [[Bengaluru FC|Bengaluru]] is the only club who has won both the I-League and the ISL at least once; they won the I-League twice and the ISL once.

== History ==
The first Indian football league, the [[National Football League (India)|National Football League]] (commonly known as the NFL) was an [[association football]] league competition in [[India]] which was organised into three divisions. The ''Premier Division'' of the league was first introduced in 1996, though the country already had a long history in the sport thanks to the likes of the [[IFA Shield]] and the [[Federation Cup (India)|Federation Cup]]. The league though is now transformed into the [[I-League]] and continues with that name. The change was supposed to bring more popularity to Indian Football. The first league season of [[I-League]] consisted of eight teams from the NFL plus two promoted teams from the former Division Two.

The [[1996–97 Indian National Football League]] was the first season of the NFL and ended with [[JCT Mills FC]] being crowned champions. The NFL era though saw Kolkata clubs [[East Bengal F.C.|East Bengal]] and [[Mohun Bagan A.C.|Mohun Bagan]] had the most championships with three respectively. The [[I-League]] era is different though as most of the champions of the league have come from [[Goa]].

Currently the team with the most championships in [[I-League]] is [[Dempo S.C.|Dempo]] who have won three championships in the league. They are also the team with the most championships overall (3 in I-League + 2 in NFL = 5 titles overall).

In 2014, a new football league named [[Indian Super League]] has started. In its first three seasons it was running without recognition from [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]]. Before [[2017–18 Indian Super League season|2017–18]] season, ISL get recognition from [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC). In July 2017, it was proposed by the [[All India Football Federation]] (AIFF) that the Indian Super League champion be granted a spot in the [[AFC Cup]], Asia's second-tier club competition.<ref name="Recognition">{{cite news|title=ISL gets official recognition from AFC, becomes second national football league|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/isl-gets-official-recognition-from-afc-becomes-second-national-football-league-3755201.html|access-date=13 August 2017|work=FirstPost|date=28 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180102044117/http://www.firstpost.com/sports/isl-gets-official-recognition-from-afc-becomes-second-national-football-league-3755201.html|archive-date=2 January 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> On 25 July 2017, the AFC approved the AIFF's proposal. Thus, from the [[2017–18 Indian Super League season|2017–18 season]], the Indian Super League champions were allowed to participate in the AFC Cup from the qualification stages of the competition.<ref name="Recognition"/> Meanwhile, India's spot in the [[AFC Champions League]], Asia's top club competition, was still kept by the [[I-League]],<ref name="Recognition"/> thus two leagues were parallelly running in the country. In October 2019, a roadmap for development of league in India was proposed. All stakeholders accepted the proposal where it was announced that ISL champions would now be entitled to the [[AFC Champions League]], starting from 2021 edition and the I-League champion will get to play the [[AFC Cup]].<ref>{{cite news |title=India clubs agree to work together on league roadmap |url=https://www.the-afc.com/media/india-clubs-agree-to-work-together-on-league-roadmap |access-date=8 December 2019 |publisher=AFC |date=14 October 2019}}</ref>
