Championship matches continue, with the top 16 teams advancing to the next stage.
Season 2 (Week 10–16): The Golden League Masters begins: - Week 10: Last 16, Leg 1 - Week 11: Last 16, Leg 2 - Week 12: Quarter-Finals, Leg 1 - Week 13: Quarter-Finals, Leg 2 - Week 14: Semi-Finals, Leg 1 - Week 15: Semi-Finals, Leg 2 - Week 16: GL Masters Final and Third-Place Playoff
