Seasonal Changes
editRelegation from Thai League 2

Promotion from Thailand Semi-pro League
editChattrakan City earned promotion from the Thailand Semi-pro League and joined the Northern Region, adding fresh competition for this season.[3]
Club licensing failures

Club name and logo changes
edit- Phitsanulok Unity revamped its identity, changing its logo from a field rat to a fighting cock, symbolizing King Naresuan the Great's legendary fighting cock.[7]
- Uttaradit Saksiam rebranded as TPF Uttaradit, adopting a completely new logo while keeping the image of Phraya Phichai, a historical local hero.[8]
