Professional Development League
Summarize
Perspective
The Professional Development League 2 is an Under-18 football's second tier, designed for those academies with Category 2 status. The league is split regionally into north and south divisions, with each team facing opponents in their own region twice both home and away and opponents in the other region once resulting in 31 games played. The sides finishing in the top two positions in both regions at the end of the season will progress to a knockout stage to determine the overall league champion. Birmingham City are the defending champions. Brentford make their return to this level after 9 years.[37]

EFL Youth Alliance
Summarize
Perspective
The EFL Youth Alliance also known at times as League 3 is run by the Football League under the auspices of the Football League Youth Alliance. This is for academies that are Category Three and Four in the EPPP. The competition consists of the Under-18 sides from the Category Three and Category Four Academy Clubs of the EFL and Premier League, along with selected National League Clubs. 44 teams competed this season, one fewer than the previous season. Brentford made their return to Category Two status after nine years and left the league before the season.[37] Chesterfield returned after a five-year absence after their first team was promoted. Bromley joined the league as a Category Four Academy after their first team was promoted to the Football League for the first time.[38] However, Oldham Athletic did not return after their parent club lost their EPPP license. For clubs that get relegated to the National League, they have two years to gain promotion back to the EFL. Otherwise, they lose their license with the League. This season there is no more split divisions or Merit Leagues the divisions are combined. All the teams are placed within two Divisions North and South. Afterwards, the regional champions will play in a playoff final to decide the winner.
