Promotion and relegation plan for Tier 3 leagues this season confirmed

Holyhead Hotspur (stripes) were promoted to Tier 2 via a Tier 3 play-off at the end of last season

Only two c;ubs instead of the usual three will be relegated from Tier 3 leagues at the end of the current season.

The FAW have confirmed their plans for the third-tier ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Prior to the JD Cymru Premier’s transition to a 16-team league next season, the changes to the FAW pyramid regulations have been confirmed for the current 2025/26 campaign.

Promotion from the third tier is unchanged for 2025/26.

The four champions of each of the Ardal Leagues will earn automatic promotion, before the two runners-up in the Ardal North and South Leagues meet in a play-off.

The only change for one season is that only two clubs will be relegated from each league instead of the current three. This is all subject to clubs meeting Tier 2 licensing requirements.
