The league was contested by 16 teams, two less than the previous season, and played in a double round robin format, with each team playing every other team twice over 30 rounds.[1]
At the end of the season, the league will be reduced from 16 to 12 clubs. Reserve teams of first league clubs would not be allowed to play and were automatically moved to a lower rank.[2]
