It was formed in 1893, although play ceased between 1912 and 1920. Currently it consists of five divisions, with the Premier division being at level 11 of the <a href="/wiki/English_football_league_system" title="English football league system">English football league system</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure">Structure</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Manchester_Football_League&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Structure"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The League consists of six divisions, from Premier Division to Division five. The Premier Division, Division One and Division Two can incorporate both first teams, and reserve teams of clubs who are playing at a higher level, while Divisions Three and Four and Five usually consist entirely of reserve or lower teams. </p><p>However, for the 2018–19 season only, the constitution was amended to allow a small number of reserve teams into the bottom division of the first teams (Division Two) to even up the numbers. This was put in place in the hope of keeping all teams playing regularly as opposed to the old structure which meant teams could go without a fixture for a few weeks at a time. </p><p>For the 2023-24 season Division 5 will become a new Development Division for U23's teams. </p><p>The Premier Division has a <a href="/wiki/Promotion_and_relegation" title="Promotion and relegation">promotion and relegation</a> arrangement with the <a href="/wiki/North_West_Counties_Football_League" title="North West Counties Football League">North West Counties Football League</a> (NWCFL), placing it at level 11 of the <a href="/wiki/English_football_league_system" title="English football league system">English football league system</a>. However, the NWCFL's ground requirements are considerably higher than those of the Manchester League, so meeting them usually requires expensive improvements, and consequently few teams take up the opportunity of promotion. <a href="/wiki/Ashton_Athletic_F.C." title="Ashton Athletic F.C.">Ashton Athletic</a> took the step up in 2006, despite only finishing 4th in Division One. Teams such as <a href="/wiki/Salford_City_F.C." title="Salford City F.C.">Salford City</a>, <a href="/wiki/Maine_Road_F.C." title="Maine Road F.C.">Maine Road</a> and <a href="/wiki/Northern_Nomads_F.C." title="Northern Nomads F.C.">Northern Nomads</a> have all played in the league at some point. The latest teams to make the step up were <a href="/wiki/Prestwich_Heys_A.F.C." title="Prestwich Heys A.F.C.">Prestwich Heys</a>, Avro and most recently Stockport Georgians. </p><p>Teams from the Premier Division are relegated to Division One, making Division One the twelfth level of the English league system. However, first teams from Division One could be relegated to Division Two after the realignment of the league structure at the start of the 2017–18 season. </p><p>Following the introduction of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) national lockdown restrictions in March 2020, the 2019/20 season was unable to be completed and was therefore declared null and void. The following season suffered the same outcome with only around a third of fixtures being completed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Current_member_clubs_(2024-25)"><span
