- 2009–10 Football Conference
-
The 2009–10 Football Conference season was the sixth season with the Conference consisting of three divisions, and the thirty-first season overall. The Conference covers the top two levels of Non-League football in England. The Conference National is the fifth highest level of the overall pyramid, whilst the Conference North and Conference South exist at the sixth level. The top team and the winner of the playoff of the National division were promoted to Football League Two, while the bottom four were relegated to the North or South divisions. The champions of the North and South divisions were promoted to the National division, alongside the play-off winners from each division. The bottom three in each of the North and South divisions were relegated to the premier divisions of the Northern Premier League, Isthmian League or Southern League. For sponsorship reasons, the Conference National is frequently referred to as the Blue Square Premier.

A total of 22 teams contested the division, including 17 sides who competed in the 2008-09 season, one relegated from the Conference National and four promoted from the lower leagues.
In April 2009, the Conference decided to demote King's Lynn at the end of the 2008-09 season, because their ground does not meet Conference standards.[50] Farsley Celtic resigned from the league on 8 March 2010 and their playing record was expunged on 12 March. Both Harrogate Town and Vauxhall Motors were reprieved from relegation following Farsley Celtic's withdrawal from the league, Chester's expulsion from the Conference National and Northwich Victoria's demotion to the Northern Premier League under financial rules.

A total of 22 teams contested the division, including 17 currently-competing sides, three relegated from the Conference National and two promoted from the lower leagues.
Team Bath announced that they were to leave the Football Conference from the end of the 2008-09 season. The club decided to fold, after being informed they could not be promoted to the professional leagues, which also lead to them no longer being able to play FA Cup games.
