Season2023–24

The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 this season were announced by the Football Association on 15 May 2023.[1] Starting this season, the league's Division One (Step 5) promotes two clubs; one as champions and one via a four-team play-off. This replaced the previous inter-step play-off system. For this season only, there was only one club relegated from the division.[2]
