Note

  1. ^ Midlands East 2 is currently split into two regional divisions – Midlands 4 East (North) and Midlands 4 East (South).
  2. ^ Due to the cancellation of National 5 North at the end of the season, four clubs were promoted including Ampthill and Long Buckby.
  3. ^ Due to widespread restructuring caused by the cancellation of National 5 North there was no relegation.
  4. ^ Due to the restructuring of the Midlands leagues for the following season, there was no relegation.
  5. ^ Ahead of the 2000–01 Midlands East 2 was also split into two regional leagues – Midlands 4 East (North) and Midlands 4 East (South).
  6. ^ No relegation as the division would be increased from 10 to 12 teams for the following season.
  7. ^ Due to the RFU restructuring the league system for the 2009-10 season, runners up Stewarts & Lloyds were automatically promoted as one of the two best runners up of the four Midlands 3 divisions, meaning they did not have to face a playoff.
  8. ^ The 2008–09 promotion play-offs were different as the RFU was reorganizing the leagues across the country including the Midlands division. Usually the winners of each of the four regional divisions would go up automatically along with two of the runners-up who won their respective play-offs, meaning six teams were promoted. This year one extra was required to be promoted so the top two runners-up by league points – Bourneville (40) and Stewarts & Lloyds (40) went up – leaving the other two runners-up – Nuneaton Old Edwardians (34) and Spalding (38) – to compete for the final promotion spot.[21]
  9. ^ after extra time.
  10. ^ One of Wellingborough's titles was when the league was a single division known as Midlands East 1.

  12. ^ Dunstablians title was when the league was a single division known as Midlands East 1.
