We take a look at the current state of play in non league regarding promotions, relegations and playoffs as of the 30th of April 2026.
Much of non league have played out their final games for this term, and now attention turns to the playoffs, so below in all the ties, scores, and schedules all the way down to the 10th tier of English football.
There is still plenty to work out and decide when it comes to who is going up and down, with some remaining games to play out, and then PPG, and reprieves being considered.
