Brentford Academy was awarded Category One status in April, allowing the young Bees to compete in these competitions for the first time. The Under-21s will participate in the Premier League 2, with each team playing 20 games. The league winner will be crowned, followed by a knockout competition to determine the overall champion, which Brighton & Hove Albion won last season. The Under-18s will compete in the U18 Premier League, where teams are divided into north and south groups. The winners of each group will face off in the national final to claim the title, which Chelsea secured in the previous year. The Under-21s will travel to play five times, while the Under-18s will have a total of 30 league games, plus appearances in the FA Youth Cup and PL Cup. All fixture details, including kick-off times and venues, will be updated on the club's website and academy social media platforms.",
