This season saw the expansion of North and South divisions to 24 teams each, a planned increase which was originally scheduled in 2019 to occur ahead of the 2021–22 season.[1] However, after the curtailment and voidance of the 2020–21 season for both North and South, promotion and relegation were postponed.[2] For those reasons, the implementation of expansion plans was delayed until 2022–23.[3]
