Chesterfield were the first team in England or Scotland’s major leagues to clinch promotion
Chesterfield secured the title, and automatic promotion back to the EFL after six years away, by beating Boreham Wood 3-0 on 23 March, while Bromley will play in League Two for the first time in their history after beating Solihull Moors on penalties in the play-off ifnal on 5 May.
The bottom four teams are relegated to National League North or South, and will be replaced with the champions and play-off winners of those two divisions.
Oxford City‘s relegation was confirmed when they lost 2-1 at AFC Fylde on 23 March, and they were joined on 13 April by Dorking Wanderers who drew 1-1 at Rochdale, Kidderminster Harriers who lost 1-0 to Eastleigh, and Boreham Wood who drew 0-0 with Ebbsfleet on the final day of the season.
Tamworth clinched the National League North title on 6 April with a 1-1 draw against Warrington, while Boston United won the play-off final 2-1 against Brackley Town on 4 May.
Yeovil Town made sure of the National League South title by beating Truro 2-0 on 11 April.
Scottish Premiership
The Premiership split in half after 33 games, with each club playing the others in its ‘half’ for a fourth and final time.
The champions will enter the Champions League group stage, with the runners-up entering in the third qualifying round. Celtic and Rangers are assured of their places, so with those clubs also contesting the Scottish Cup final, the Europa League place reserved for the Cup winners will revert to the league.
So Hearts, who are guaranteed to finish third, will enter the Europa League at the play-off round, with the fourth-placed team in the second qualifying round, while the fifth-placed team will enter the Europa Conference League at the second qualifying round.
Bottom club Livingston were relegated to the Scottish Championship on 4 May after losing 4-1 at Motherwell, while the 11th-placed team (realistically, St Johnstone or Ross County) will enter a play-off with three Championship sides.
