Nine clubs will compete in the Championship during 2024,[1] with Workington replacing Birmingham following their respective league changes.[2][3] Edinburgh once again remained in the league despite problems surrounding their home venue.[4]
The league format will be the same as in 2023, with each team racing against each other twice (home and away), meaning a total of 16 fixtures each during the season. The Cab Direct Knockout Cup and the BSN Series will also both return for 2024, both following the same formats as in 2023.
The top four teams qualify for the playoffs. The points limit for team construction was reduced from 40 to 38 points.[1]
Glasgow will defend the Championship title that they won in 2023, while Scunthorpe will defend the knockout cup and Poole will defend the BSN Series.
