The Professional Development League 2 is Under-21 football's second tier, designed for those academies with Category 2 status. The league is split regionally into north and south divisions, with each team facing opponents in their own region twice both home and away and opponents in the other region once resulting in 31 games played. The sides finishing in the top two positions in both regions at the end of the season will progress to a knockout stage to determine the overall league champion. Sheffield United U21s are the defending champions.

22 teams competed in the league this season, one more than the previous season and the most since the league's inaugural season in 2012-13. Brentford U21s returned to the league after nine years their academy was given Category Two status.[32]
