2021–22 National League
Season | 2021–22 |
---|---|
← 2020–21 2022–23 → |
The 2021–22 National League season, known as the Vanarama National League for sponsorship reasons, is the seventh season as English football's National League, the nineteenth season consisting of three divisions, and the forty-third season overall.
Due to the curtailment of the preceding season for North and South and lower levels of competition in the English football pyramid, promotion and relegation between levels 5 and 6, and between level 6 and lower levels were suspended.[1] These, combined with the folding of Macclesfield Town in 2020–21 and the knock-on effects of Bury's collapse in 2019–20, mean that for the 2021–22 season the three divisions have the irregular complement of 23, 22 and 21 teams, respectively;
In 2019, prior to these COVID-19 related impacts, the league had intended the 2021–22 season to be the first using a new structure in which the number of teams in its North and South divisions would increase, resulting in three 24-team divisions. On 1 July 2021, the National League confirmed its intent to achieve this structure for the 2022–23 season; consequently the following adjustments to promotion and relegation are in effect for 2021–22:[2][3]
- As before, two teams will be promoted from the National League to League Two and replaced by two teams relegated from it;
- Three teams will be relegated from the National League to the two level 6 divisions, and replaced by four teams (two from each of the National League North and South); and
- Three teams will be relegated from the two level 6 divisions (two from the National League North and one from the National League South) to the premier divisions of the Northern Premier League, Southern League Central or South, or Isthmian League, and replaced by eight teams (two from each division).
However, for level 6 to have a total of 48 teams next season, the number of relegations from level 6 can be changed to two based on the following:
- If the three clubs relegated from the National League are all southern or one northern and two southern, the National League North and South can relegate the bottom team in each division, and the 21st-placed northern team can be reprieved from relegation.[citation needed]
- If the three clubs relegated from the National League are all northern or one southern and two northern, the National League North can relegate its bottom two teams and the National League South can reprieve its last-placed team from relegation.[citation needed]
To maintain numerical balance, one northern team will be moved to the National League South or one southern team to the National League North if the National League relegates all three northern or southern clubs.
