The regular season will be played over 27 round-robin fixtures, where each of the fourteen teams involved in the competition play each other, once at home and once away. Teams will also play one extra match on the Summer Bash Weekend.
The play-offs will commence after the round-robin fixtures. The top 5 teams will play against each other to determine who get promoted. In the first round of the play-offs 4th place will verse 5th in an elimination final while 2nd place will verse 3rd place in a qualifying final. The second round of the play-offs will then have the winner of the elimination final verse the loser of the qualifying final and 1st place verse the winner of the qualifying final in a match that will give the winning team a spot in the championship play-off.
