[edit]Qualifies for the stage the 16 top-ranked teams of the nine Prince League divisions, with each region having its amount of qualifying slots predetermined by the JFA[a].[3] They will be divided into four blocks, with their respective block winners (or 2nd round winners) qualifying for the next season's Premier League.
Kanto's Prince League is the only one to qualify three teams from, whereas Tohoku, Tokai, Kansai, Chugoku and Kyushu qualifies two teams each, and just one each qualifies from Hokkaido, Hokushin'etsu and Shikoku. The play-offs will be played at 12 (1st round) and 14 December (2nd round).
