The Northern Premier League Premier Division is the 7th tier in the English football league pyramid. It is a third division of the National League and promoted teams go into the Conference North.

22 teams play in the league from the North of England. The team that finishes top of the league at the end of the season is promoted to the Conference North. 2nd to 5th position clubs play in a play off, with 2nd playing 5th and 3rd playing 4th in a two legged semi final round. The winner of each semi final goes onto a final, with the winner of that game promoted to Conference North.

The teams which finish in the bottom four positions in the league are relegated to either the Northern Premier League First Division North or the Northern Premier League First Division South.
