New steps to improve grassroots youth football in England to be introduced from the 2026-27 season
From the start of the 2026-27 season, we will be launching a new progressive framework for grassroots youth football in England, which aims to further improve the experience for young players across the country – giving them more time on the ball, more time on the pitch and increasing their physical activity levels.
From the 2026-27 season, we will be introducing the following changes:
• A new 3v3 entry format for the youngest players in the pathway at U7s level, fielding three players on each side, to maximise engagement and provide the best introduction to football.
• Each format will be played one year later as players transition through the pathway, including 11v11 which will move from U13s to U14s level.
• Greater alignment with schools with children playing smaller formats with simplified rules throughout primary school, before progressing to 9v9 and more complex rules at secondary school.
• Evolved Laws of the Game that are age-appropriate and best support the overall development of the young player. For example, amendments have already been made to game restarts for U7s-U9s to increase ball in play time.
