The2015–16 National League season (known as theVanarama National League for sponsorship reasons) was the first season under the new title ofNational League, the twelfth season consisting of three divisions and the thirty-seventh season overall.
The National League covers the top two levels ofNon-League football inEngland. The National League is the fifth highest level of the overall pyramid, while theNational League North andNational League South exist at the sixth level. The top team and the winner of the play-off of the Premier division will be promoted toLeague Two, while the bottom four are relegated to the North or South divisions. The champions of the North and South divisions will be promoted to the Premier division, alongside the play-off winners from each division. The bottom three in each of the North and South divisions are relegated to the premier divisions of theNorthern Premier League,Isthmian League orSouthern League.
On 6 April 2015, it was announced that as of the 2015–16 season the League was to undergo a name change from the Football Conference to the National League. As well as the name change, the league's logo has been re-designed and the league's broadcasterBT Sport has signed a new three-year contract. The structure of the league and the title sponsor Vanarama however remain the same.[1]
