This is the 2024-25 list, the newest found. Not the current season. Level is as in the Phase 1 file.

BNXT League official site not opened, fields null. The league reported only partly Dutch teams; the Dutch federation handbook says 8 Dutch teams for 2025-26. Team count for TDW 2026-27 not found (2024-25 had 12; 2025-26 book says max 12). TDM1 level is listed as level 2 because BNXT is the top men's level for clubs that take part; check before publishing.

Rules change each season and clubs apply them differently. Confirm any figure with the league or federation before you rely on it. This is education, not legal or tax advice. See a figure that is out of date? Send a correction with the source link.
