2015-16 Under-18 Premier League
The 2015-16 Under-18 Premier League is the fourth campaign of the new top tier of the Under-18 Development League. A total of 24 teams are split regionally into north and south leagues, with Swansea City replacing Bolton Wanderers from the previous campaigns after the two clubs swapped Category 1/2 status. Teams will face their regional opponents both home and away before the top four sides in each division move into a top tier at the end of February 2016, where they will face each other once either home and away as the national champion is determined. The sides finishing 5th-8th and 9th-12th in both regions will also filter off into a second and third tier for the final couple of months of the season.
