The National League is the fifth highest level of the overall pyramid, whilst the National League North and National League South exist at the sixth level.

The top team and the winner of the play-off of the Premier division will be promoted to Football League Two, while the bottom four are relegated to the North or South divisions.

The champions of the North and South divisions will be promoted to the Premier division, alongside the play-off winners from each division.

The bottom three in each of the North and South divisions are relegated to the premier divisions of the Northern Premier League, Isthmian League or Southern League.
