Summary

Contested by 16 clubs from the 2023–24 season until 2025–26 when expand to 18 teams from 2026–27 onwards, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Challenger Pro League.

Play-offs I are contested by the top-six clubs in the regular season, with each club playing each other twice.
