The Professional Development League is a system of English youth football leagues that are managed, organised and controlled by the Premier League or by the Football League. It was introduced by the Football Association via the Elite Player Performance Plan in 2012.

The system was introduced in early 2012 and was active for the first time during the 2012–13 season. It is a successor to the Premier Reserve League, Premier Academy League and Football Combination. The Football League Youth Alliance makes up League 2 of the under-18 system. The system covers the under-18 and under-21 groups.

Previously, clubs participating in the Premier Reserve League (the highest level of reserve football in England) were removed from the competition if their first team in the Premier League were relegated and replaced with a promoted team. Under the Professional Development League system, Premier League reserves teams' league status is not directly linked to the first team's Premier League status. Instead, there are three different Professional Development Leagues at each age-group level and clubs in the top four tiers of the English football league system are placed in the system based on the assessment of their academy for the Elite Player Performance Plan.

The England Premier League 2 (EPL2) is a highly competitive and prestigious soccer tournament serving as the second tier of professional football in England. Organized by the Football Association, EPL2 features the reserve teams of top-tier clubs alongside independent clubs vying for promotion and recognition. The league provides a platform for emerging talent to develop and showcase their skills, often serving as a stepping stone to the Premier League. Matches are played across various stadiums in England, attracting passionate fans and fostering intense rivalries. With a focus on youth development, competitive spirit, and high-quality football, the England Premier League 2 is a key component of England’s football ecosystem, contributing to the growth of future stars and the overall strength of the sport in the country.
