===League stage===
''All matches played at main and secondary pitches of [[Bodymoor Heath Training Ground]], [[Tamworth, Staffordshire]], [[London]], [[England]]. The league stage consists of eight teams with each team playing against any three of the seven other teams only. These teams are pre-seeded into two groups and the placement matches are decided via their positions in those respective groups. Aside from regular match and scoring system, a [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shootout]] is held after each match, irrespective of the regular match. The winner of the penalty shootout gets an additional bonus point in their points table.''
