The mode remained the same compared to last year, after the Prague Black Panthers after last season left the league and the Steelsharks Traun from the Division I ascended. Each team competes against three teams in one home and one away game. There is only one game against the other four opponents, so that each team plays ten games in the basic round. The four opponents that are played only once are different for each team.

The teams in places 3 to 6 qualify for the wild card round. The winners from this round and the best two teams from the regular season play the playoffs. Its winners played in the Austrian Bowl XXXIII for the Austrian title.
