Changes from the previous season
The Premier League/Prince League play-offs gives an opportunity for teams to be promoted from the Prince Leagues (a conglomerate of regional leagues that forms the 2nd division of youth football in Japan).
On 2022, the number of teams that could make the jump to the top division were from four up to six. Six matches were held to determine the newcomers and/or other relegated teams of the Premier League.
The two 10th-placed teams in their respective 2022 Premier League divisions participated in the play-offs, while the 11th and 12th-placed teams of each division were directly relegated.
