The new format sees the Super 8s teams play each other once with the top four teams having four home fixtures and the bottom four having three home fixtures.

After seven matches, first will play second in the League 1 Promotion Final with the winning team promoted; the losing team will enter a four-club play-off with a home fixture against the fifth-placed team whilst second plays third. The winners of those two matches will contest a play-off final for the second promotion place.
