There are 14 teams in the One-Guyana league, and they are grouped into the Harpy Eagle Conference and the Jaguar Conference.
During the league, teams from the Jaguar and Harpy Eagle Conferences will face each other, twice, within their respective groups. The top four teams will progress to the playoffs, where the first-ranked team will compete against the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team will take on the third-ranked team. The victors of these playoff matches will move on to the Conference Finals, where they will engage in a best-of-three series to determine the finalists for the National Championship.
