The 2024–25 season will be the 110th season of the Isthmian League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from London, East and South East England. The league operates four divisions, the Premier Division at Step 3 and three divisions, North, South Central and South East at Step 4 of the National League System. This was the sixth season since the former South Division was subdivided into the South Central and South East divisions. The league is also known as the Pitching In League under a sponsorship deal with Entain, formerly GVC Holdings.
The allocations for steps 3 and 4 were announced by The Football Association (FA) on 17 May 2024.[1]
The Premier Division comprised sixteen teams from the previous season, as well as six clubs who newly joined the division.
