The FA manages the promotion application process for Clubs operating in Regional NLS Feeder Leagues who are seeking promotion to Step 6 of the NLS.
The necessary forms and guidance notes are drafted on an annual basis and are ordinarily circulated to Feeder Leagues at the end of October/start of November for onward distribution to their member Clubs.
A Club must then complete the required paperwork to its fullest before submitting this to NLS@TheFA.com by no later than 31 December in any season. In addition to the digitally submitted application forms, a payment may also be necessary and guidance in relation to this will be provided at an appropriate time.
Note: applications received after 31 December will not be considered.
