Structure
[edit]14 teams will participate in the league. In the first round, known as Regular Season, all teams play each other home and away, for a total of 26 games each. In the second round, the league splits into two groups: Teams ranked 1–6 enter the Championship Playoffs, whereas teams ranked 7–14 enter the Relegation playoffs. The teams in the Championship Playoffs play each other home and away for an additional 10 games each, while the teams in the Relegation Playoffs play each other only once, either home or away, for an additional 7 games each. All criteria (such as points, goal difference, and head to head records) are retained during the transition from first to second round. The team ranked first in the Championship Playoffs are declared champions, while the bottom three teams in the Relegation Playoffs are relegated to the Second Division.
