Ten of the eleven I-League clubs participated in the tournament the season with Bharat FC being the excluded club.

Churchill Brothers were the reigning champions of the Federation Cup, having won the tournament in 2014, however, due to failing to pass the licensing criteria for the I-League, they were unable to defend their title.
