note

In L.League, the stated order of the top four teams is determined by adding the points for the Final Rounds. Rankings below fifth place are determined by adding the points for the Consolation Final Rounds.
Teams are allotted three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
The ranking is determined as follows: 1) total of all points, 2) goal difference, 3) total of goals.

Points
  • 3: a Win
  • 1: a Draw
  • 0: a Loss

All teams play each other two times (each at home and away) in the Final Rounds/Preliminary Rounds.
All teams play each other one time in the Consolation Final Rounds.

Renaissance Kumamoto changes the team name from Renaissance football club.

One new team which is AS Elfen (Eastern Zone) join L.League in next season.

The scores of away matches in my documents are italic small violet numbers.

note

In 1st and 2nd Rounds, regulation time is 80 minutes.

In the tournament, when regulation time of the match play fails to determine a winner, teams play 'V-goal'(golden-goal) extra time for 20 minutes. If the match is still undecided, the winning team is decided in a penalty shoot-out.
