2016-17 Premier League International Cup
The 2016-17 Premier League International Cup is the third season of the Premier League's continental competition for development teams. In line with changes across the board at this level, the age eligibility rules for the competition are now Under-23. The competition has expanded this season to 24 teams, half from England and half from Europe. The format remains unchanged, with teams split into six groups of four. Teams play each other once, either home, away or at a neutral venue (all games to be staged in England once again). The winners of each group, plus the two best placed runners-up, advance to the quarter-finals.
