NPL 2026

5th Tier in England are playing 46 games and potentially travelling from somewhere down South to a team up North on a weeknight lol
Not to mention the regional, random cups (FA Vase Cup etc) and then the actual FA Cup that they play in as well.

They geninuely get barely any time to themselves, a lot of the clubs are 'semi-pro' fulltime.
 
They’re playing that many games minimum in the English championship, league 1, league 2 etc too. It’s ball park a similar number of games.

A league clubs are playing a minimum of 27 games, nsw based aus championship clubs are playing a minimum of 37 off the top of my head and likely more than 40+ if they don’t get knocked out of the cup first game/make finals etc I’d say that’s a fairly noteworthy number of extra fixtures.

There’s always room for pushback but people seem to be able to take issue with/misconstrue fairly uncontroversial objective statements at times on this forum

ACL 2 and more future spots in these comps should help out with the AL clubs, we played 43 games total in 2024/25. Squads aren't that big here both AL and NPL.
 
Rockdale ilinden 1-3 Sutherland

You’d think after that and Rockdale’s point deduction the championship spot is Sutherland’s to lose now

Rockdale faces weaker opponents looking ahead so it is still in the air (Sutherland still have to travel to Marconi).
