THE make-up of the 2025-26 has been confirmed by The Football Association.
Harriers will compete at Step 2 next term after falling short of the league title and play-offs in 2024-25.
Joining the Reds as ‘new’ faces in the division will be AFC Flyde, the two sides having faced off many a time in previous campaigns – the Coasters were relegated from the National League at the end of last term.
Coming up into the division having been promoted last term will be familiar old foes in the form of AFC Telford and Macclesfield, while Worksop Town, Bedford Town and Merthyr Town make up the cohort of new clubs in the division.
Only one place in the league remains to be confirmed – the club failing to win Sunday’s promotion final between Scunthorpe United and Chester will stay in the North – but their respective locations mean The FA can now confirm the allocations.
