The Nationwide League One, NLO, has issued a final warning to participating clubs ahead of the 2026 season.
The NLO stated that registration for the new season will close on Saturday, 14 March 2026, at 12:00 midnight.
According to a statement released by the NLO, any club that failed to complete their financial obligations by the deadline will face immediate exclusion from the league.
The NLO Secretariat does not have the authority to extend the deadline, as it is a fixed mandate set by the Congress, the league’s highest decision-making body.
“Any club in violation of these payment requirements will be officially assumed to have withdrawn their participation from the league,” the statement read.
“To avoid penalties, clubs must ensure all payments are processed and confirmed before the deadline.”
The league groupings will be released based on full payments.
