History

Following the launch of The FA first ever strategy for futsal "Fast Forward with Futsal" in 2018, The FA developed the National Futsal Series competition to provide an opportunity to continue the transformation of futsal across England.[2]

The FA National Futsal Series inaugural season was in 2019/2020. The 2019/2020 season started in September and continued to March. The season was not concluded due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
