On the eve of the start of the championship season the RFU have confirmed the promotion and relegation criteria.
Promotion
The bottom placed premiership side will play off against the winners of the championship over 2 legs with the winner playing in the premiership next season subject to the club meeting the MSC.
Relegation
There will be no relegation from the championship this season.
Promotion National One.
The winner of National One will be promoted to the championship for the 2024-25 season.
This seems a rather strange statement as I thought it was the intention of the RFU and PRL to reduce the size of the championship (premiership 2) to 10 teams for 2024-25 as part of the new professional game agreement.
