Play-offs

On 21 April 2024, it was announced that Gateshead would be forced to withdraw from the play-offs after failing to meet the entry criteria for membership of the English Football League, namely failing to attain a 10-year security of tenure for the Gateshead International Stadium.^[31][32]

It was initially announced that as a result of Gateshead's withdrawal, Solihull Moors would receive a bye to the semi-finals.^[31] A second statement was later put out by the National League, adjusting the structure of the play-offs to be based on final league positions.^[33] This revision meant that Altrincham would automatically advance to the semi-finals to face Bromley, whilst Solihull Moors would face FC Halifax Town in the quarter-finals.^[33]
