The EFL Youth Alliance also known as League 3 is run by the Football League under the auspices of the Football League Youth Alliance. 44 teams competed this season, one fewer than the previous season. Notts County U18s and Yeovil Town U18s did not return as they lost their EPPP License. For clubs that get relegated to the National League, they have two years to gain promotion back to the EFL. Otherwise, they lose their license with the League. Peterborough United U18s left the league during the summer after last season because they promoted their academy to Category 2 to play in the U18 Professional Development League 2[6]. Harrogate Town U18s, and Sutton United U18s joined the league as their first teams were promoted to the Football League. Alongside Merit Leagues one and two the Northeast Division played their season with a merit phase as well although the games were the same as the regular season with the top 5 going into the Championship Round while the bottom 5 do the lower round with 4 extra games added to the end of the regular season phase of the season.
