The race to earn promotion from League Two looks as open and competitive as ever in 2026/27.
Bromley amassed 87 points on their way to winning the title last season, narrowly edging out MK dons who finished as runners-up.
Cambridge filled the final automatic promotion spot, with Notts County defeating Salford at Wembley to earn a place in League One via the playoffs.
The Ammies, wounded from their play-off final defeat, are expected to go well again this season. New boss Peter Cklamovski is somewhat of an unknown quantity but their business over the summer has been a positive, building on what was already a good squad for the level.
Bristol Rovers and Barnet may also feature prominently in the promotion race after rattling finishes to last season. The latter won seven of their last eight matches, only narrowly missing out on the playoffs from what looked like an unpromising position.
Port Vale knew their League One fate pretty early last season and the hierarchy may have had on eye on an instant return to the third tier, appointing a manager who has been there and done it before in Jon Brady.
Last season's race to National League title was a story that gripped English football; York eventually edging out Rochdale on a dramatic final day. Despite parting with manager Stuart Maynard, sides coming up from the National League generally have a good record in the fourth tier and the Minstermen are a club high on confidence.
