Conference Premier

The Conference Premier, now known as the National League, is the fifth tier of English football and the highest level of non-professional or semi-professional play. It sits below the Football League and features clubs vying for promotion to higher leagues. The league operates on a system of promotion and relegation, meaning successful teams can move up to the Football League, while less successful ones may drop to lower regional divisions. It serves as a key competitive level where clubs aim to progress professionally and reach the higher tiers of English football.
