In the inaugural edition, the promotion of the League 2 champion to the Super League was allowed in the previous World Cup qualification cycle.

This promotion was abolished for the second edition which meant that the previous League 2 champions, Scotland, remained in this tournament. Netherlands were also added after they played in the Super League.

The remaining top five finishers from the previous League 2 and two teams from the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off joined Scotland and the Netherlands.

Canada were promoted after the playoff while Papua New Guinea were relegated to the Challenge League.

Meanwhile, the top four teams in ICC CWC League 2 2023-27 will directly qualify for ICC World Cup 2027 Qualifier while the four bottom-placed teams will take part in the ICC World Cup Qualifier Play-off, effectively a repechage tournament also including the top four teams from the ICC World Cup Challenge League, the third tier of international 50-over cricket.
