What is the Premier League International Cup?

The Premier League International Cup is a competition involving the top 16 finishers in the Premier League 2 and 16 invited international clubs. It is a season-long tournament that runs alongside league and domestic commitments.

Clubs are split into four groups of eight clubs, with four PL2 and four invited international clubs in each group. Each club play four group stage games, with all fixtures contested between PL2 and their international counterparts. The top two clubs from each group will advance to the knockout stages. From the quarter-finals onwards, matches are one-off ties, with extra-time and penalties required if the match is level after 90 minutes. Last season, the competition was won by Crystal Palace.
