The 2023 - 24 Ardal NE season (also known as the 2023 - 24 Lock Stock Ardal NE season for sponsorship reasons), was the third season of the new third-tier northern region football in Welsh football pyramid, part of the Ardal Leagues.
The winners (Penrhyncoch) were promoted to the 2024–25 Cymru North. The third-placed team (Llanuwchllyn) qualified for the Ardal Northern play-off, losing and remaining in the league. The bottom two teams (Llanrhaeadr and Welshpool Town) were relegated to Tier 4.
The league was made up of fifteen teams; twelve teams remaining from the previous season, two teams promoted from Tier 4, and one team relegated from the 2022–23 Cymru North.[1] [2] On 31 July 2023, Barmouth & Dyffryn United withdrew from the league, reducing the number of teams by one.[3]
The teams promoted from Tier 4 were Llansantffraid Village from the Central Wales Football League Northern Division and Radnor Valley from the Central Wales Football League Southern Division (replacing the relegated Ardal NE teams of Corwen and Rhayader Town). The team relegated from the Cymru North was Penrhyncoch (replacing the promoted Ardal NE team of Caersws).[4] [5]
