Today the Football Association has published National League System (NLS) club allocations for the 2023/24 season, subject to FA Council ratification.

It should come as no surprise that Invicta will continue to compete in the Isthmian League for next season, while we welcome six new clubs into the division, some familiar and some new faces.

Fellow Kent side Chatham Town will join us as winners of the Isthmian South East division along with Whitehawk, who beat neighbours Hythe Town in the South East Playoff final.

Winners of the Isthmian North Division Hashtag United will make their debut season at Step 3, playing home matches as the Len Salmon Stadium, also the home of Bowers & Pitsea.

We also welcome back some familiar faces in Cheshunt, Concord Rangers and Dulwich Hamlet who have been relegated from the Vanarama National South Division.

The full NLS allocations can be found at the FA website below
