The previous
World Cup qualification cycle
allowed for promotion of the League 2 champion to the Super League. However, the scrapping of that tournament meant that the previous League 2 champions,
Scotland
, remained in this competition, and
Netherlands
were added having previously played in the
Super League
.

They were joined by the remaining top 5 finishers from the
previous League 2
and two teams from the
2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off
. The play-off resulted in
Canada
being promoted, with
Papua New Guinea
relegated to the
Challenge League
.
