The National League Premier Division line-up is complete for 2025-26 following the conclusion of all promotion final games and the non-league allocations being published, as announced by the FA.

The division sees the Iron return to the fifth tier for what will be only their second at the level after beating Chester in the National League North Promotion Final, with Boreham Wood promoted after winning the southern equivalent. Brackley Town and Truro City won their respective divisions to complete the quartet of sides promoted.

Meanwhile, Carlisle United and Morecambe lost their EFL status to enter non-league after their season of struggles at the bottom of League Two. Southend United also remain in the division following Promotion Final heartache at Wembley on Sunday, with Oldham Athletic securing an extra time return to the EFL.

Elsewhere, relegated out of the National League, and therefore not one of the Iron's opponents in the forthcoming season, AFC Fylde, Maidenhead United, Ebbsfleet United and Dagenham and Redbridge.
