The five local clubs in National League and National League South get underway this afternoon

Sutton United, Wealdstone and Boreham Wood kick off in the National league at 3

Meanwhile in the National League south Hampton and Richmond Borough and Dagenham and Redbridge begin their season

It's the first full season for Dagenham and Redbridge following significant financial investment from social media star KSI and former England striker Andy Carrol

KSI stated when he joined as a stakeholder, he believes it is "100% doable" to reach the Premier League, a feat the Daggers would need 5 promotions in order to achieve

Meanwhile Boreham Wood begin their second season back in the National League following missing out on a spot in League Two after playoff final defeat.

Boreham Wood have recently been in the news for rejecting a £1 million offer for star striker Abdul Abdulmalik from a Swedish top flight side.

Wealdstone will begin their 7th consecutive campaign in the 5th tier of English football, meanwhile Sutton will begin their second after being relegated from League Two in the 2024/25 season
