The Challenge League will be held for the fourth time with ten teams. As in the Super League, the ten clubs each play four times against each opponent, twice in their home stadiums and twice away. In total, each team plays 36 games. The first placed will be promoted to the Super League at the end of the season, the last placed to the Promotion League. Because Biel's license was revoked in the course of the championship, only 34 games were played last.
