The 2023-24 Under-18 Professional Development League Cup is the third campaign of the domestic youth team cup competition, which pits Category 2 teams against each other in an initial three-game group stage.

Clubs play each other once, either home or away, with the winners of the seven groups plus the best runners-up advancing to the quarter-finals. The knockout rounds will be one-off matches.
