Twenty-four teams compete in the league – eighteen returning teams from the previous season, two teams relegated from EFL League Two, two teams promoted from the National League North and two teams promoted from the National League South.
Morecambe were suspended in July 2025 after the club failed to reach a deadline on their finances to the league, with their opening fixtures in the competition postponed.[2][3] The club's suspension was lifted three weeks later after the club was taken over by the Panjab Warriors consortium, allowing them to take part.[4]
