Wikipedia - National League South

The National League South, officially Vanarama National League South, is a professional Association football league in England. National League South is the second division of the National Leagues and step 2 of the NLS and sixth-highest tier overall in the English football league system, after the Premier League, the EFL leagues and the National League and is contested by 24 clubs.


National League North includes teams from the South East, London, and the South West, as well as teams from Essex. The National League South was introduced in 2004 as part of a major restructuring of the National League System. Each year the champion of the league is automatically promoted to the National League. A second promotion place goes to the winner of a play-off involving the teams finishing in second to seventh place (expanded from four to six teams in the 2017–18 season). The three bottom clubs were relegated to Step 3 leagues.

For sponsorship reasons, it has been known as Blue Square South (2007–2010), Blue Square Bet South (2010–2013), Skrill South (2013–2014), the Vanarama Conference South (2014–2015), the Vanarama National League South (2015–2019) and the Motorama National League South following a three-year sponsorship deal announced in January 2019. Since the start of the 2015–16 season, the league is known as the National League South.

The National League South was reduced to 21 clubs for 2020–21 and was expected to expand to 24 teams in 2021–22. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, the 2020–21 National League South season was curtailed and voided after written resolutions were put to a vote. No teams were relegated. Expansion would be implemented before the 2022–23 season, when the bottom club was relegated and four were promoted from Step 3. There are four relegations from the South since 2023.

The England National League South is a competitive football tournament that serves as one of the two divisions at the sixth tier of the English football league system, alongside the National League North. Established in 2004, this league features clubs primarily from the southern regions of England, providing a platform for teams to showcase their talent and ambition.

The tournament consists of a diverse array of clubs, ranging from historic teams with rich traditions to emerging sides eager to make their mark. Each season, teams compete in a rigorous schedule of matches, battling for points to secure a coveted position in the league standings. The top teams at the end of the season earn promotion to the National League, while those at the bottom face the threat of relegation to the Isthmian League or Southern League.

The England National League South is known for its passionate fan base, with supporters creating an electric atmosphere at matches. The league not only highlights the skill and determination of players but also fosters local rivalries and community spirit. With its blend of competitive football and local pride, the National League South is an essential part of the English football landscape, offering thrilling matches and the potential for clubs to rise through the ranks of the football pyramid.
