The National League’s position on the edge of the Football League creates plenty of drama. This high-stakes position makes it an ideal option when looking to make a bet. And at BetVictor, you can bet on which teams will get promoted and relegated from the National League.
The chance for promotion to the EFL offers a host of incentives. For clubs, there is a major increase in revenue, in both advertising and TV. For players, it gives them a chance to play at a higher level. Only two teams can get promoted per season – the champions and the play-off winners. You can have your say on which clubs will do the business with our extensive National League Outright betting markets.
However, the lows of dropping out of the National League can hurt a club. Four clubs face the drop each year, but can you correctly predict who will go down? Have your say with our National League Outright odds for relegation.
According to the outright National League betting, Chesterfield are clear favourites to win the 2023/24 National League. The Spireites came agonisingly close to securing promotion last season, losing on penalties in the play-off final against Notts County. Paul Cook’s men are well fancied to get the job done this time and have made some impressive signings, including Tom Naylor, a regular in the Championship for Wigan last season, and Will Grigg.
Oldham Athletic are second favourites to win the National League in the betting. The Latics had a nightmare start to their first season in the fifth tier last year and found themselves in a relegation battle. However, they recovered under David Unsworth and finished in 12th after a run of one defeat in their final ten matches.
Making up the top three favourites in the National League betting are Hartlepool United. Pools are back in the fifth division after a two-year stay in League Two and are looking to bounce back. John Askey has lots of firepower in his squad. Josh Umerah netted 12 times in League Two last season, while new signing Emmanuel Dieseruvwe hit 13 National League goals for Halifax.

The 2022/23 National League season gained a worldwide audience, thanks primarily to Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s co-ownership of Wrexham. Fans were treated to a fantastic season, with a red-hot title race and intriguing play-off and relegation battles.
Four teams were relegated from the National League in the 2022/23 season. Maidstone United were the first club to drop into the sixth tier, finishing rock bottom with just 25 points. Scunthorpe United and Yeovil Town were the next two teams to be relegated, leaving one place in the drop zone to be decided on the final day.
Torquay United were confirmed as the fourth team to suffer relegation. The Gulls could only draw with Wrexham in their last game, which was not enough to overtake Maidenhead United, who lost 4-0 against Gateshead.
Wrexham finished top of the National League table in 2022/23 and were automatically promoted to League Two. The Red Dragons were 6/4 favourites in the National League betting and enjoyed a remarkable season, winning 34 and losing three of their 46 matches, amassing a record-breaking 111 points.
Notts County were 8/1 second favourites in the National League betting, and they, too, managed to seal promotion. The Magpies were involved in an epic title race with Wrexham, finishing second on 107 points. That meant they had to face the rigours of the play-offs, but they managed to beat Boreham Wood and Chesterfield to win a place in League Two.
Wrexham are the most recent National League winners, having lifted the trophy in 2022/23.
Stockport County were champions the year before and went onto qualify for the League Two play-offs in their first season, while 2018/19 winners, Leyton Orient, won League Two in 2022/23, showing that promotion from the National League can lead to bigger things.
| Year | Winner |

| 2020/2021 | Sutton United |
