Revision as of 20:22, 19 September 2016
The 2016-17 Premier League 2 is the debut campaign of the new top tier of the Professional Development League. It has been rebranded from the previous Under-21 Premier League, with the age range changed from Under-21 to Under-23. Clubs are also still permitted to field three 'over-age' outfield players and one 'over-age' goalkeeper. The match calendar is set to be fixed at the start of the season with no movement to match rounds permitted; clubs will only be permitted flexibility regarding on which weekend day (Friday to Monday) the game will be played.
The league remains split into two, with both Derby County and Arsenal promoted to the top division, the Rams as Division 2 champions and the Gunners as playoff winners. They replace Middlesbrough and Norwich City, who were relegated from Division 1.
Promotion and relegation of two teams will apply once again this season. The teams finishing 11th and 12th in Division 1 will be relegated, while the team finishing top of Division 2 will be automatically promoted. Those teams finishing second, third, fourth and fifth in Division 2 will compete in a promotion playoff.
