When potential meets precision and consistency highlights power, a team shines brightest through a blend of solid defence, creative midfield play, and a sharp offensive unit — all fueled by vigour, indomitable spirit, and enthusiasm.

The Indian Super League (ISL) has witnessed how teams have evolved, improving every facet of their game while striving for greatness.

Over its eleven seasons, the league has showcased a flurry of goals and countless captivating moments to cheer for. Two-time League Shield and Cup winners, Mumbai City FC, stand out as the only team to have racked up a century of wins.

But who are the top five teams with the most wins in ISL history?

Mumbai City FC—101 wins

Over the years, Mumbai City FC have built a reputation as an attacking powerhouse without compromising their defensive solidity. They became the first team in ISL history to cross the milestone of 100 wins. From Jorge Costa to Sergio Lobera, Des Buckingham, and now Petr Kratky, the Islanders have consistently dominated the attacking third — a strength reflected in their remarkable win record. Notably, MCFC also became the first club to secure the ISL double in the 2020-21 season — an unprecedented achievement accomplished under Buckingham’s leadership.

FC Goa—99 wins

FC Goa’s journey has been quite similar to that of Mumbai City FC, with both teams sharing a heated rivalry over the years. The Gaurs have consistently placed their faith in possession-based football and have often found success through their style of play, translating their approach into impressive numbers. Currently, the Gaurs rank second, just one win shy of the century mark, with 99 victories to their name, highlighting their commendable consistency since inception.

Bengaluru FC—79 wins

Bengaluru FC come next in the tally with a commendable total of 79 wins across eight seasons. Sunil Chhetri, the living legend, has been the driving force behind the Blues over the years, with the veteran forward scoring 68 goals and setting multiple records along the way. From Albert Roca’s wisdom to Carles Cuadrat’s expertise, and now Gerard Zaragoza as a potential successor, Bengaluru FC’s evolution—both on and off the field—has been praiseworthy since their inception in the league in 2017.

Chennaiyin FC—71 wins

Chennaiyin FC have enjoyed a remarkable journey in the ISL, clinching the ISL Cup twice — in the 2015 and 2017-18 seasons. Starting with Marco Materazzi's focus on defensive solidity, followed by the impactful tenures of John Gregory and Owen Coyle, the Marina Machans have delivered consistently strong performances, building a legacy of dominance and silverware. From the Mizo Sniper Jeje Lalpekhlua to Colombian goal machine Stiven Mendoza, Golden Boot winner Elano Blumer, and Nerijus Valskis, Chennaiyin FC have regularly featured elite forwards who played pivotal roles in securing crucial victories.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant—70 wins

Mohun Bagan Super Giant have showcased their dominance since debuting in the league during the 2020-21 season. The Mariners have qualified for the ISL playoffs in every campaign they've participated in and recently completed the ISL double, becoming only the second team to achieve the feat. They also became the first side to successfully defend the ISL Shield. Their consistent performances and growing dominance reflect the kind of success that their fans dream of.
