Perspective
League 1, referred to as the Barclays Under 21 Premier League for sponsorship reasons, was split into two divisions, with teams allocated places in Division 1 or 2 based on their performance in the 2013–14 season.
At the end of the season, the team which finished top of Division 1 was crowned as overall League 1 champions, with the previously used knock-out system being abandoned. The top 8 teams qualified for the 2015–16 edition of the Premier League International Cup and the bottom two teams in Division 1 were relegated to Division 2 for the 2015–16 season, with the top teams in Division 2 moved in the opposite direction.[1]

League 2
Summarize
Perspective
League 2, referred to as the Professional Development U21 League, is split into two regional divisions.
Teams will play each team in their own division twice, and each team in the other division once, for a total of 26 games for North division teams, and 27 games each for South division teams.
At the end of the season, the teams finishing in the top two positions of both divisions will meet in the knockout stage to determine the overall league champion.
19 Teams competed this season, 1 fewer than last season. Brighton & Hove Albion U21s[6] joined the Premier League 2 as a Category One Academy alongside Derby County U21s on July 25 after 2 seasons apiece.[7] Meanwhile, Colchester United U21s returned after a one season absence when they resecured their Category Two Academy status.[8]
