2025–26 Isthmian League

Football league season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2025–26 season is the 111th season of the Isthmian League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from London, East and South East England. The league operates four divisions, the Premier Division at Step 3 and three divisions, North, South Central and South East at Step 4 of the National League System. This was the sixth season since the former South Division was subdivided into the South Central and South East divisions. The league is also known as the Pitching In League under a sponsorship deal with Entain, formerly GVC Holdings.

The allocations for steps 3 and 4 were announced by The Football Association (FA) on 15 May 2025.[1]
