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. 41 Academies competed this season, 3 fewer than the previous season. 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. Hartlepool United U18s and Rochdale U18s did not return after their parent club lost their EPPP license and would not participate this season. 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. Accrington Stanley U18s[24] closed their academy dues to costs and won't be participating as well, and Morecambe U18s closed their academy due to being suspended by the National League temporarily, Harrogate Town U18s moved to the National League U19s, and Huddersfield Town U18s academy was upgraded to Category 2 status.[19] Barnet and Oldham Athletic joined after their first team was promoted.
