Non-League football describes football leagues played outside the top leagues of a country. Usually it describes leagues which are not fully professional. The term is primarily used for football in England, where it describes football played at a level below that of the Premier League and the three divisions of the English Football League. The term non-League was commonly used well before 1992 when the top football clubs in England all belonged to The Football League ; all clubs which were not a part of the League were therefore 'non-League' clubs. The term can be confusing, especially when it is incorrectly written as "non-league", as the vast majority of non-League football clubs in England play in some type of league. Currently, a non-League team would be any club playing in the National League or below and therefore would not play in the EFL Cup.
