Football league season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The 2023–24 season was the 109th season of the Isthmian League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from London, East and South East England. The league operates four divisions, the Premier Division at Step 3 (the 7th tier) and three divisions, North, South Central and South East at Step 4 of the National League System (the 8th tier). This was the sixth season since the former South Division was subdivided into the South Central and South East divisions. The league is also known as the Pitching In League under a sponsorship deal with Entain, formerly GVC Holdings.
The allocations for Step 4 this season were announced by The Football Association (FA) on 15 May 2023. There were to be 82 teams in the Isthmian League, 22 in the Step 3 division and 20 in each of the Step 4 divisions. However, Marlow successfully appealed against their transfer to the Southern League and remained in the South Central Division, which therefore comprised 21 teams instead of 20.[1][2]
