About the league
The National League South is a soccer league in England, serving as the sixth tier of the English football league system. Established in 2004, it was previously known as the Conference South. The league consists of 24 teams, primarily from the southern regions of England. Top teams in the league have included Ebbsfleet United, Maidstone United, and Dartford. The competition format involves a double-round robin, with the top team earning promotion to the National League, and the next four teams competing in a playoff for a potential second promotion spot. Notable achievements include the league's role in developing teams that have gone on to compete at higher levels, such as the English Football League. The league attracts a dedicated local following, with attendance figures varying by team. As a feeder league to the higher divisions, the National League South plays an important part in the English football pyramid, providing opportunities for teams to progress and compete at higher levels.
