ISL 2020-21 playoffs format & rules

Mumbai City FC and FC Goa will play each other twice at two different venues and so will ATK Mohun Bagan and NorthEast United FC.

There will be no away-goal rule used in the semis since all the games will be played in Goa. Thus, AIFF have planned to decide the winner via extra time if the game ends in a draw after an aggregate of both legs.

If the scorers remain the same post extra time, penalties will come into play.
