2024–25 Southern Football League

The 2024–25 Southern Football League season is the 122nd in the history of the Southern League since its establishment in 1894. The league has two Premier divisions (Central and South) at Step 3 of the National League System (NLS) and two Division One divisions (Central and South) at Step 4. These correspond to levels 7 and 8 of the English football league system.

The allocations for Steps 3 and 4 this season were announced by The Football Association (FA) on 17 May 2024. There were to be 88 teams in the Southern League, 22 in each of the four divisions. However, Coalville Town, who were due to have competed in the Premier Division Central, subsequently resigned from the Southern League; their place was filled by Hitchin Town who were reprieved from relegation to Division One Central leaving an unfilled vacancy in that division, which therefore comprised 21 teams instead of 22.[1][2]
