β 2019β20 2021β22 β |
The 2020β21 National League season, known as the Vanarama National League for sponsorship reasons, will be the sixth season under English football's new title of the National League, the eighteenth season consisting of three divisions, and the forty-second season overall.
The season follows the curtailed 2019β20 season, in which the league phase was uncompleted due to the COVID-19 pandemic[1] and the play-offs only completed by 2 August 2020.[2] Reflecting the late end to the previous season and aiming at maximising the likelihood of fans being present in stadiums when the season starts, the 2020-21 National League is currently due to begin on 3 October 2020.[3] Presuming a season can be played, the planned increase of the North and South divisions to 24 teams will take place for 2021β22, meaning only two from the North and one from the South will be relegated to the premier divisions of the Northern Premier League, Southern Football League Central or South, or Isthmian League.[4]
