The season format is unchanged from last season, each team will play in the league format home and away matches. The lowest-ranked team will be relegated directly to the second league, the two teams positioned 14th and 15th will play a play-out with two teams from the second league positioned 2nd and 3rd in a home and away format. This will be the fifth season to use VAR, featuring it in all matches played. The year-to-year changes in the format of the competition are only cosmetic, the most significant change being the expansion of the number of substitutes on the substitute bench to 11.[2]
