They are, it works like this

2024: 1 team ascends, 11 Team league
2025: 1 team ascends, 12 Team league
2026: 2 team ascend, 2024 team is demoted, 13 team league
2027: 2 team ascend, 2025 team is demoted, 14 team league
2028: 2 team ascend, Both 2026 team are demoted, 14 team league

So it remains 14 teams forever
