[edit]

Teams play each team in their own division twice, and eight of the teams in the other division once, to complete 26 fixtures. The top two teams from each division progress to the knockout stage to determine the overall winner.[3] 20 teams competed as Leicester City was promoted to category one status,[1] and Barnet was relegated from the football league, and Wigan Athletic downgraded their academy to category 3 status. Colchester United also lost their category 2 status temporarily,[4] but would return the following season.[5]
