The Yorkshire Netball Regional League is the highest level of regional club competition in Yorkshire. It provides a competitive, progressive and transparent pathway for senior clubs, with teams competing in the Yorkshire Premier League and Yorkshire League One.

The competition enables clubs from across Yorkshire to compete at the highest regional amateur level, develop players, coaches and officials, and pursue progression into England Netball’s national club pathway. All matches are governed by the World Netball Rules of the Game and the Yorkshire Netball Regional League Rules and Regulations.

The 2026/27 Senior Regional League comprises two divisions:

• Yorkshire Premier League: 11 teams
• Yorkshire League One: 10 teams

Each team plays every other team in its division twice during the season. Yorkshire Premier League fixtures are played home and away, while Yorkshire League One fixtures are played twice at central venues. 

The England Netball Premier League has three divisions. Yorkshire’s highest-placed eligible club progresses to the national Premier League Play-Offs, where regional representatives compete for available places in Premier League 3.

Promotion, Relegation and Playoffs

• The team finishing top of the Yorkshire Premier League is crowned champion.
• The highest-placed eligible club progresses to the England Netball Premier League Play-Offs. If the champion already has a team in the national Premier League, the next highest eligible team progresses.
• The teams finishing ninth and tenth in the Yorkshire Premier League are relegated to Yorkshire League One.
• The top two eligible teams in Yorkshire League One are promoted to the Yorkshire Premier League.
• Teams finishing eighth to tenth in Yorkshire League One enter the Yorkshire Regional League Playoffs.
• The top three teams at the regional playoffs secure places in Yorkshire League One for the following season.

If Yorkshire’s representative gains promotion to England Netball Premier League 3, the ninth-placed Yorkshire Premier League team will play the third-placed Yorkshire League One team to determine the remaining Premier League place.

New clubs and teams do not enter Yorkshire League One directly. The route into the Senior Regional League is through the Yorkshire Netball Regional League Playoffs, an open entry tournament held at the end of the season. The teams finishing eighth, ninth and tenth in Yorkshire League One also take part to compete for their place in the following season’s league.

Who Can Enter the Playoffs?

• An active club registered on England Netball’s ENgage membership system through a county association within the Yorkshire region.
• A club or team able to meet the costs, commitments and responsibilities of regional competition.
• A team whose players and team officials hold the required current England Netball membership and meet all eligibility requirements.
• A team able to provide the required match-day personnel, including a minimum Level 2 coach, a primary care person or first aider, and appropriate safeguarding arrangements where an under-18 player is listed.
• A team able to identify a minimum B Award umpire to support allocated fixtures during the following season.

A club may have up to three teams across the Senior Regional League, with no more than two teams in any one division. Subject to eligibility and the permitted number of teams from one club, the top three teams at the playoffs secure places in Yorkshire League One for the following season.

Interested in entering?

Before applying for the Regional League Playoffs, clubs should read both the Yorkshire Regional League Rules and Regulations and the separate Regional League Playoff Regulations in full. These documents explain the entry requirements, player eligibility rules and the commitments that apply to teams entering the competition.
