Finals

16 clubs, North/South groups of 8, single round-robin (24 Aug – 6 Oct). Each group's winner goes straight to a two-legged final for the title and automatic promotion; 2nd–5th cross-play for the remaining places, with 3rd also promoted and 4th facing the U20 champion for the last promotion spot (规程).
