National League
Season2020–21

The 2020–21 National League season, known as the Vanarama National League for sponsorship reasons, is 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 2019–20 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 began 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 2021–22, meaning only two from the North and one from the South will be relegated to the premier divisions of the Northern Premier League, Southern League Central or South, or Isthmian League.[4]

On 16 September 2020, Macclesfield Town folded as a result of debts, and were expelled from the National League on 29 September 2020.[5] As the club folded before the season started, no records were expunged.[6]

Due to Macclesfield's demise, only 23 clubs will take part in the 2020–21 season and a maximum of three clubs will be relegated instead of the usual four.

National League North

National League North
Season2020–21

The National League North in 2020-21 will consist of 22 teams. Due to the anticipated expansion to 24 teams for 2021–22, only two teams instead of the usual four were expected to be relegated. However, the knock-on effect of the demise of Macclesfield Town may cause the number of relegated teams to be reduced even further.

Team changes

Following the COVID-19 pandemic-related cancellation of the four step 3 leagues' 2019–20 seasons, no teams were promoted to or relegated from the National League North.[13]
