Format

The format for the season consisted of a league stage followed by playoffs. The league stage consisted of 108 matches, with each team playing 18 matches.
Teams are awarded two points for a win and none for a loss. A tie-breaker rule was introduced to all league-stage matches in case the teams finish with the same number of points at the end of regular time. The tie-breaker consisted of a five raid shootout with specific conditions. The teams would have seven players at all time with no outs or revivals, and the baulk line would become the bonus line. Each team nominated five different raiders to raid in the specified order with raids alternating between teams. If the points were still tied after five raids, the winner would be decided by a golden raid. In case both teams remain tied after golden raids, the winner would be decided by a coin toss.
The playoff system was also revamped compared to the previous seasons to include more matches and additional teams. As per the new playoff rules, the top eight teams qualified for the knockout stages. The playoffs consisted of nine matches.

The teams finishing from 5th to 8th competed in two play-in matches with the winners advancing to the first eliminator.
The sides in 3rd and 4th position compete in a Mini-qualifier with the winner qualifying to the Eliminator 3, and the loser facing off against the winner of Eliminator 1 in Eliminator 2.
The winners of Eliminators 2 and 3 compete to determine the team that advances to Qualifier 2
The top two sides compete in Qualifier 1 with the winner advancing to the final
The winner of the Eliminator 3 and the loser of Qualifier 1 face-off in Qualifier 2 to determine the second finalist
