The allocations for Step 4 this season were announced by The Football Association (FA) on 15 May 2023.
However, Marlow successfully appealed against their transfer to the Southern League and remained in the South Central Division, which therefore comprised 21 teams instead of 20.
This was the first season with play-offs at step five, meaning that just two teams would be relegated from the division.
The South Central Division consists of 21 teams, 14 of which competed in the previous campaign.
The South East Division consists of 20 teams, 14 of which competed in the previous season.
