The constitution was announced on 18 May 2021.[1]

After the abandonment of the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[2][3] a number of promotions were decided on a points per game basis over the previous two seasons.

Premier Division North

The new Premier Division North consists of 18 clubs. Seven of these participated in the old Premier Division last season, and were joined by 11 new clubs:
