The National League System comprises the seven levels of the English football league system immediately below the level of the FA Premier League and The Football League. It contains over 80 league competitions, and over 600 clubs and comes under the jurisdiction of The Football Association. The National League System has a hierarchical format with promotion and relegation between leagues at different levels. For details of leagues above and below the National League System, see the English football league system.
Recently the system has undergone a rearrangement. Phase one went into operation in 2004-05. At the start of the 2006-07 season, phase two will be introduced, and a further phase three is planned when enough suitable clubs are available for a second Step 4 league in the north of England.
