The Premier League have confirmed an Academy format change for the upcoming 2023/24 campaign.
All 26 Category One clubs will merge into one single group, with teams seeded based on their multi-year performance. Fixtures will be drawn out of five pots based on those seedings.
There will be 20 Matchweeks, with each team playing 20 regular-season matches throughout the season.
Teams will play each club in their own seeding pot once, as well as three to five teams in all other pots either home or away.
Results (three points for a win and one point for a draw) will generate a table ranking the 26 teams. After the regular season of 20 Matchweeks has completed, the top 16 teams will qualify for a single elimination playoff.
More information on these changes can be found here.
Information regarding the draw date and time will be released in due course.
