-Participă 20 de cluburi: 15 echipe fondatoare şi 5 cluburi care vor putea intra în Super Ligă pe baza performanţelor din sezonul precedent. Cluburile participante în Super Ligă vor continua să concureze şi în campionatele lor. Echipele vor fi împărţite în două grupe a câte 10 echipe, care vor juca între ele tur-retur.
