2016–17 Professional U23 Development League

Premier League 2 (previously the Under 21 Premier League) was the fifth season of the competition since its introduction in 2012, and the first since being changed from an under-21 league to under-23. The league was split into two divisions, with teams allocated places in Division 1 or 2 based on their performance in the 2015–16 season. At the end of the season, the team which finished top of Division 1 was crowned as overall champions, and the bottom two teams in Division 1 will be relegated to Division 2 for the 2017–18 season.

The Professional U23 Development League 2, also known as U23 PDL-2 is split into two regional divisions. Teams will play each team in their own division twice, and each team in the other division once, for a total of 28 games each. At the end of the season, the teams finishing in the top two positions of both divisions will meet in the knockout stage to determine the overall league champion. 20 Teams competed this season, 1 fewer than last time. Brentford withdrawing at the end of last season after they closed their academy meant Coventry City moved to the south division for an even distribution of 10 teams per division.
