The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 this season were announced by The Football Association on 15 May 2023.[1] Beginning from this season, a four team play-off system was introduced at Step 5 (this league) to guarantee a second promotion place to Step 4, replacing the inter-step play-off.[2] Solely for this season, there was only one club relegated from this league.[3]
The league featured 14 clubs which competed in the division last season, along with six new clubs.
