Promotion and relegation

In the nineteenth season of the Northern Premier League Macclesfield Town (as champions) were automatically promoted to the Alliance Premier League; they replaced relegated Frickley Athletic, who swapped Leagues with them. Meanwhile Burton Albion moved to the Southern League Premier Division and were replaced by another relegated Alliance side in Gateshead.

From the next season, the Northern Premier League was expanded to include a First Division.
