About The National League and Its Format The Enterprise National League, as it is known under its current sponsorship, was founded in 1979 as the Alliance Premier League and features 24 participating clubs. Sitting at the fifth tier of the English football pyramid, it occupies a unique position as the highest level of non-league football — a division where professional and semi-professional clubs compete side by side. Automatic promotion and relegation between the National League and the EFL was introduced in 1987, cementing its place within the wider football structure. If teams finish level on points, their position is determined by goal difference and then goals scored. The league features several former EFL clubs, including Rochdale, Forest Green Rovers, and York City, giving it a competitive depth that reflects years of footballing history. Barnet were the most recent champions, claiming the title in 2024/25.

2025/2026 Season So Far The 2025/26 Enterprise National League season has already delivered a compelling mix of results, with a handful of clubs establishing themselves as genuine promotion contenders in both the automatic and playoff spots. The solitary automatic promotion place — a notably tighter gateway than at higher tiers — has made every point at the summit feel especially precious, with clubs scrapping hard to claim that one direct route into the EFL. The playoff picture has been equally engrossing, with the expanded six-team format ensuring that a wide range of sides remain in contention deep into the campaign. Several former EFL clubs with established fanbases have added further weight to the promotion race, while the league's mix of full-time and part-time setups creates a fascinating variety of styles and resources across the 24 competing clubs. At the other end of the table, the relegation battle has been fierce, with four teams facing the drop and numerous clubs dragged into an anxious fight to preserve their National League status.
