The 2024 season is expected to be played across 4 regions: Pacific, Southwest, Texas and Upstate New York. [1] [2] The region champions, as well as the champions of NISA Nation's affiliated leagues, will end the season by playing in a National Championship that will determine the teams invited by NISA to promote to the professional level. The tournament will take place in December, in Southern California. [3] [4]

All 2023 regional champions in active NISA Nation regions, Battleborn FC (Pacific), Golden State Force (Southwest) and FC Brownsville (Texas), are back in 2024 to defend their titles. 2023 National Championship finalists Las Vegas Legends accepted an invitation to promote to NISA, but will only do so in the 2025 season.
