In February 2024, AIFF announced the eligibility for nomination of clubs in the IWL 2, with the Member Associations required to conduct a league with at least six teams with a minimum of 10 matches per team.[7] The League Committee reviewed the nominations filed by the various State FAs and recommended the finalisation of the teams after cut-off date.[8]

The list of the participants for IWL 2, finalised after 5 February 2024, which is the last date of nomination for the IWL 2 teams with the draw held on 4 March 2024.[9] 9 teams withdrew citing financial demands of AIFF such as registration fee and high club overhead costs and inability to assemble sufficient number of players with the second division running parallelly with IWL.[10] The 6 teams qualifying from last year's IWL withdrew along with this years' qualifying teams from the states, Manipur Police, Kerala United and Parikrma FC. The remaining teams were joined by additional teams nominated by the states to form the 15 teams for the season.
