U-21 minute standings
In order to qualify for the playoffs, clubs were also required to accumulate at least 2,000 minutes played by U-21 domestic players during the regular season. Additionally, only 1,000 of these minutes could be played by players on loan from other clubs.[11] Clubs that do not meet the 2,000 minute threshold may also incur financial penalties from the league. {{#invoke:Sports table|main|style=Custom |section=U-21 |num_cols=2 |col_header1=Шаблон:Abbr |col_header2=Шаблон:Abbr

Playoffs
The 2023 season used the Page playoff system. The team who finished first in the regular-season table would play the team who finished second, and the winner would host the final. The fourth- and fifth-placed teams would play in a play-in round, and the winner of this game would then play the third-placed team in a quarter-final. The quarter-final winner would play the loser of the game between the first and second-placed teams for the other spot in the final.[12]
