2020–21 Isthmian League
The 2020–21 season is the 106th 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 third season since the former South Division was subdivided into the South Central and South East divisions.
The allocations for Steps 3 and 4 for season 2020–21 were announced by the FA on 21 July.[1] No changes were made to the constitutions of any of the divisions within the Isthmian League.
