After the promotion of Brightlingsea Regent to the Isthmian League, the resignation of Cambridge Regional College and the relegation of Woodbridge Town to Division One at the end of the previous season, the Premier Division remained at 20 clubs, and featured three new clubs promoted from Division One:[2]

The following four clubs applied for promotion to Step 4:[3] Godmanchester Rovers, Haverhill Rovers, Norwich United and Stanway Rovers. However, Norwich United, Godmanchester Rovers and Stanway Rovers all withdrew from the process, and with Haverhill Rovers outside the top three, it meant that no team would be promoted from the league for the first time since the 2007-08 season.[4][5][6]
