The original plan for the competition involved dividing the 24 teams from the top two tiers of English rugby into four pools of six. The number of teams has dropped to 22 following the suspension of Wasps and London Irish.[3][4]
The 22 teams will be split into four pools, two of 6 teams (Pool A & Pool B) and two of 5 teams (Pool B & Pool C). The teams are seeded based on league standings at the end of the 2022-23 season[a][b]. Teams in pools C and D will also play one cross-pool fixture along with their own pool games.[5]
Teams will play every other team in their pool once, either home or away. Teams in pools C and D will also play one cross-pool fixture along with their own pool games.
If teams are level at any stage, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:
Certain games will be broadcast on TNT Sports.[5] It has not been confirmed if there will be any other broadcasters.
