Swansea City Association Football Club Under-23s is the most senior team of Swansea City's youth teams and are the club's former reserve team. From the 2015–16 season, they will play in Division 2 of the Professional Development League 1 and will also compete in the U21 Premier League Cup. The Under-21s and Under-18s previously played in the Professional Development League 2 South Division. The Under-21s play the majority of their home games at Swansea City's Youth Academy in Landore, Swansea with occasional matches taking place at the Liberty Stadium.
The Under-23 team is effectively Swansea City's second-string side, but is limited to three outfield players and one goalkeeper over the age of 21 per game following the introduction of new regulations from the 2012–13 season.
Gary Richards and Cameron Toshack are the lead coaches for the Under-23s.
In 2015, the Under-21s won the 2014–15 Professional U21 Development League 2. In doing so, the under-21s became the first Swansea City Academy age-group to win an English national development trophy.
