The Football Association announced on Thursday afternoon that all non-league football leagues from step three to six will have their seasons cancelled as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
It also confirmed there will be no promotions or relegations between these steps as a result.
The sporting authority said that these are “challenging circumstances for English football” and “all decisions taken are in the best interests of the game.”
A statement from the FA said:
“The National League System (NLS) and the women’s football pyramid were able to build a consensus amongst their leagues and, where possible, aimed to create a consistent approach across all leagues, whilst taking into account the unique characteristics of each individual league.
“As a result, The FA and NLS steps three to six have reached a consensus that their 2019-20 season will now be brought to an end, and all results will be expunged.
“This will mean no promotion or relegation of clubs between NLS steps three to six, and no promotion to NLS step two.
“Furthermore, we can now confirm that we have decided that all grassroots football is concluded for the 2019-20 season. This will allow the game to move forward and to commence planning for next season.”
No football has been played across all these divisions since March 16.
