</p><p><b>Non-League football</b> describes <a href="/wiki/Association_football" title="Association football">football</a> leagues played outside the top leagues of a country. Usually, it describes leagues which are not fully professional. The term is primarily used for <a href="/wiki/Football_in_England" title="Football in England">football in England</a>, where it is specifically used to describe all football played at levels below those of the <a href="/wiki/Premier_League" title="Premier League">Premier League</a> (20 clubs) and the three divisions of the <a href="/wiki/English_Football_League" title="English Football League">English Football League</a> (EFL; 72 clubs). Currently, a non-League team would be any club playing in the <a href="/wiki/National_League_(English_football)" title="National League (English football)">National League</a> or below that level. Typically, non-League clubs are either <a href="/wiki/Semi-professional" class="mw-redirect" title="Semi-professional">semi-professional</a> or <a href="/wiki/Amateur" title="Amateur">amateur</a> in status, although the majority of clubs in the <a href="/wiki/National_League_(division)" title="National League (division)">National League division</a> (level 5) are fully <a href="/wiki/Professional" title="Professional">professional</a>, some of which are former EFL clubs who have suffered <a href="/wiki/Relegation" class="mw-redirect" title="Relegation">relegation</a>. </p><p>The term <i>non-League</i> was commonly used in England long before the creation of the Premier League in 1992, prior to which the top <a href="/wiki/List_of_football_clubs_in_England" title="List of football clubs in England">football clubs in England</a> all belonged to <a href="/wiki/The_Football_League" class="mw-redirect" title="The Football League">The Football League</a> (from 2016, the EFL); at this time, the Football League was commonly referred to as simply "the League" and its clubs were "League clubs", so all clubs which were not members of the Football League were therefore 'non-League' clubs. Since 1992, the term "non-League" has come to mean clubs at a lower level than the Football League, as the original definition of being outside the Football League would include Premier League clubs. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Non-League_football_in_England">Non-League football in England</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Non-League_football&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Non-League football in England"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="English_Football_League">English Football League</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Non-League_football&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: English Football League"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Maine_Road_vs_1874_Northwich_football_match_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/05/Maine_Road_vs_1874_Northwich_football_match_%28cropped%29.jpg/350px-Maine_Road_vs_1874_Northwich_football_match_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="350" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/05/Maine_Road_vs_1874_Northwich_football_match_%28cropped%29.jpg/525px-Maine_Road_vs_1874_Northwich_football_match_%28cropped%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/05/Maine_Road_vs_1874_Northwich_football_match_%28cropped%29.jpg/700px-Maine_Road_vs_1874_Northwich_football_match_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2410" data-file-height="1138" /></a><figcaption>A non-League match between <a href="/wiki/Maine_Road_F.C." title="Maine Road F.C.">Maine Road</a> and <a href="/wiki/1874_Northwich" class="mw-redirect" title="1874 Northwich">1874 Northwich</a> of the <a href="/wiki/North_West_Counties_Football_League" title="North West Counties Football League">North West Counties Football League</a>, part of the ninth level of English football.</figcaption></figure> <p>The "League" (with a capital 'L') in "non-League football" originally referred specifically to The Football League (now the English Football League, which the <a href="/wiki/Premier_League" title="Premier League">Premier League</a> <a href="/wiki/Foundation_of_the_Premier_League" title="Foundation of the Premier League">split from in 1992</a>), rather than being a <a href="/wiki/Misnomer" title="Misnomer">misnomer</a>, as "non-League" clubs do play the majority of their football within a league (with a lower-case 'l') competition. There are many leagues below the level of the EFL, and some, such as the <a href="/wiki/Northern_Football_League" title="Northern Football League">Northern League</a>, are almost as old as the EFL itself. The most senior of these leagues are loosely organised by <a href="/wiki/The_Football_Association" title="The Football Association">The Football Association</a>, the sport's governing body in England, into a <a href="/wiki/National_League_System" class="mw-redirect" title="National League System">National League System</a> (NLS). The NLS has six levels or <i>steps</i> and includes over 18 separate leagues, many with more than one division. </p><p>Prior to the 1986–87 season, there was no automatic promotion and relegation between The Football League and the leagues of non-League football for nearly a hundred years. Instead, <a href="/wiki/Re-election_(Football_League)" title="Re-election (Football League)">the process of re-election</a> existed; at the end of each season, the bottom clubs of the EFL were required to re-apply for membership, whilst ambitious non-League clubs put themselves up as candidates for admittance against them. All member clubs of the Football League then voted for their choice. In most cases, this was a mere formality; member clubs would typically vote for other existing members and the system ensured that Football League membership remained relatively static, with non-League clubs having very little chance of joining. Since the process began, thirteen non-League clubs had achieved enough votes to win election as a member of the Football League. </p><p>However, a major change came in 1986 when automatic promotion and relegation of one club between the League and the <a href="/wiki/National_League_(English_football)" title="National League (English football)">Football Conference</a>, the top league in non-League football, was introduced, subject to the eligible club meeting the required facility and financial standards. <a href="/wiki/Scarborough_F.C." title="Scarborough F.C.">Scarborough</a> became the first non-League club to win automatic promotion to the League, and <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_City_F.C." title="Lincoln City F.C.">Lincoln City</a> became the first League club to be relegated to the ranks of non-League football. Since the 2002–03 season, two clubs from the Conference, now National League (the champions and the winners of a play-off) have been promoted at the end of each season. </p><p>The entire <a href="/wiki/English_football_league_system" title="English football league system">English football league system</a> includes the Premier League, the EFL, the <a href="/wiki/National_League_System" class="mw-redirect" title="National League System">NLS</a> leagues, and any local leagues that have feeder relationships with an NLS league. </p><p>Many non-League clubs enter the <a href="/wiki/FA_Cup" title="FA Cup">FA Cup</a>, where they hope to become "giant-killers" by progressing from the qualifying rounds, and first and second rounds proper, to meet and beat opposition from the Premier League or <a href="/wiki/EFL_Championship" title="EFL Championship">EFL Championship</a>. Since the end of the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>, only <a href="/wiki/List_of_non-League_clubs_in_the_Fifth_Round_of_the_FA_Cup_since_1945" class="mw-redirect" title="List of non-League clubs in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup since 1945">eleven non-League clubs</a> have reached the Fifth Round of the FA Cup, and only one (<a href="/wiki/Lincoln_City_F.C." title="Lincoln City F.C.">Lincoln City</a> in <a href="/wiki/2016-17_FA_Cup" class="mw-redirect" title="2016-17 FA Cup">2016–17</a> season) has reached the quarter-final stage.
