The organisation of football in England is based on a hierarchical league system, allowing clubs to ascend or descend based on their performance. This system is divided into several tiers, ranging from professional football to amateur football.
At the top of the hierarchy is the Premier League, which is the highest level of English football. It comprises 20 professional clubs vying for the title of English champions. The bottom three teams in the standings at the end of the season are relegated to the EFL Championship, which also includes 24 clubs. The top two teams from this division are promoted to the Premier League, while the bottom three descend to the EFL League One.
The EFL League One, the third tier, hosts 24 teams, predominantly professional. The top two teams are promoted to the EFL Championship, and the bottom four are relegated to the EFL League Two. This tier also includes 24 clubs, operating on the same principle of promotion and relegation with the EFL League One and the National League.
The National League, the fifth tier of English football, is organised into two divisions: the National League and the National League North/South. It includes semi-professional and amateur clubs. The champions of each division are promoted to the EFL League Two, while the bottom teams are relegated to the lower leagues. Beyond the National League, the system continues with regional and local divisions, highlighting the depth and diversity of English football at all levels of competition.
From the National League North/South to the County Leagues, tiers 6 to 15 of English football are primarily composed of regional leagues. These leagues are often subdivided into several divisions and offer clubs the opportunity to progress through the league system based on their performance.
