There will again be six teams in division 1, while there will also be six teams in division 2.

In division 2, five teams remain from last season.
The Sunbury Lions, Sunbury Kangaroos, East Sunbury, Roxburgh Park and Taylors Lakes are all part of division 2 again.
A combined Gisborne-Kyneton United team is the new side in that division. Gisborne had previously played in division 1.
