The final round will constitute of a single-leg round-robin format, with the top two teams gaining promotion to the Indian Women's League. It will be held at a centralised venue.[4][5]

The teams qualifying from the 2023–24 Indian State Leagues will join the remaining 2022–23 Indian Women's League teams for the inaugural IWL 2 season.[6] In February 2024, the AIFF announced the eligibility for nominations 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][9] 9 teams withdrew citing financial demands and inability to assemble sufficient number of players.[10] Additional withdrawal came from Manipur Police, Kerala United and Parikrma FC. The remaining teams were joined by additional state nominations to form the 15 teams for the season.
