Non-League Day 2025

Posted on 19th March 2025

Non-League Day returns this Saturday 22nd March, championing the pyramid and encouraging fans in the higher echelons of the game to check out their local non-league side. The campaign coincides with March’s international break and the FSA have been longterm supporters of its aims.

The idea for Non-League Day came to founder James Doe in 2010 after he was inspired by a pre-season trip to Devon to watch Queens Park Rangers play at Tavistock.

It’s now embedded in football’s calendar and has received support from the Premier League, EFL and clubs themselves who see the boost to attendances that it provides.

Non-League Day coincides with the first international break of the year, and helps give an insight into the importance of clubs further down the pyramid and the dedication of the volunteers who run them.

In the FSA’s opinion one of the most special elements of our domestic game is the depth of attendance throughout the pyramid, which is pretty much unrivalled in world football.

Non-League Day says: “Many non-league clubs are almost exclusively volunteer run, with money taken at the turnstiles often funding thriving youth set-ups, projects and facilities which are of benefit to the whole community.

“The vast majority of games still kick off at 3pm, ticket prices are realistic, you can often stand (and drink!) anywhere in the ground and will always be guaranteed a warm welcome by people who run their clubs for a love of the game.”
