They did not progress to the playoffs for three consecutive seasons from 2020-21 to 2022-23, but Chennaiyin FC advanced to the knockout stages in ISL's previous season (2023-24) by finishing sixth.
Though they were eliminated in the opening knockout round, Chennaiyin have proven that they are getting better under the leadership of Owen Coyle, who was also the last head coach to take them to the final in 2019-20 in his first stint with the outfit.
In the 2024-25 season, Chennaiyin will kick off their campaign against Odisha FC in an away fixture on September 14.
