Semi-finals
Professional Development League National Final

## EFL Youth Alliance

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 U18s make their return to Category Two status after 9 years and left the league before the season. Chesterfield U18s returned after a five year absence after their first team was promoted. Bromley U18s joined the league as a Category Four Academy after their first team was promoted to the football League for the very first time. However, Oldham Athletic U18s 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.
