- The playoff system will be changed to home-and-away semifinals contested by the top four teams, followed by a one-match Grand Final. The Premier will no longer receive a bye to the final.
- Otago United will now play their home fixtures at Sunnyvale Park, moving from Carisbrook.
- YoungHeart Manawatu will now play their home fixtures at Memorial Park, moving from FMG Stadium

- Waitakere United will permanently return to Douglas Field, after spending the majority of the previous season at Fred Taylor Park.
