The National League System (NLS) is a hierarchical structure of football leagues in England, below the top tier of the English football pyramid. It consists of several levels, with the National League at the top, followed by the National League North and National League South, and then various regional leagues. This system allows clubs to be promoted or relegated based on their performance each season. The NLS is part of the broader English football league system, which includes professional and semi-professional clubs. It provides opportunities for teams from different regions to compete, fostering local rivalries and community support. The system is governed by the Football Association and aims to maintain competitive balance and fair play.
