Competition rules
The league is played in three rounds, each team playing a total of 36 matches. J.League U-22 Selection played all their matches on the road.{{citation|url=http://j3.j-league.or.jp/pdf/download/20131217_01.pdf |script-title=ja:２０１４Ｊ３リーグ 大会方式および試合方式について |trans-title=Playing system and rules of 2014 J3 League |language=ja |publisher=J.League |date=17 December 2013 |access-date=30 December 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131228072812/http://j3.j-league.or.jp/pdf/download/20131217_01.pdf |archive-date=28 December 2013 }}
Each team must have at least 3 players holding professional contracts. Two foreign players are allowed per team, plus 1 more from the ASEAN partner country of J. League. The matchday roster will consist of 16 players, and up to 5 substitutes will be allowed in a game.
= Promotion and relegation =
Rules for promotion to J2 are largely similar to those of Japan Football League in the recent seasons: to be promoted, a club must hold a J2 license and finish in top 2 of the league. The U-22 team is not eligible for promotion regardless of their final position. The champions will be promoted directly, in exchange with 22nd-placed J2 club, and the runners-up will participate in the playoffs with 21st J2 club. If either or both top 2 finishers are ineligible for promotion, the playoffs and/or direct exchange will not be held in accordance to the exact positions of promotion-eligible clubs.
No relegation to JFL is planned. Up to 2 clubs may be promoted if they are licensed by J. League for J3 participation and finish in top 4 of JFL.
=Personnel and kits=
Note: Flags indicate national team as has been defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
