2021–22 Isthmian League

The 2021–22 season is the 107th 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 is the fourth season since the former South Division was subdivided into the South Central and South East divisions. The league was also known as the Pitching In League under a sponsorship deal with Entain, formerly GVC Holdings.

The allocations for Step 4 this season were announced by The Football Association (FA) on 17 May 2021.[1] Numerous changes were made to the constitutions of the level 8 divisions within the Isthmian League.[2]

The scheduled restructuring of the non-League system takes place for the 2021–22 season and a new division has been added to the Northern Premier League at Step 4 for 2021–22,[3] which resulted in some reallocations into or out of, and promotions to, the Isthmian League's Step 4 divisions.[3]

Premier Division

The Premier Division comprises the same set of 22 teams which competed in the aborted competition the previous season.
