The 2021–22 edition featured 12 teams in two groups that competed in a round robin league format of home and away game. The top two teams from each group would then qualify into a semi-final, in which the winner of group Group A would face the runner-up of group B, and vice versa. The semi-finals would take place over two legs (home and away). The winners of the semi-finals would secure promotion to the UAE Second Division and a place in the UAE Third Division final. As of the 2023-24 season, the competition is organised in a standard round-robin format, with each team competing against each other twice.
