The Premier Division featured three new teams in a league of 22 teams after the promotion of Guildford City to the Southern Football League:
- Bedfont Sports, promoted as runners-up in the First Division.
- Guernsey, promoted as champions of the First Division.
- Hartley Wintney, promoted as third-placed club in the First Division.
For this season only, the FA were to promote a second club from two of the following six Step 5 leagues: Combined Counties League, Eastern Counties League, Essex Senior League, Kent League, Spartan South Midlands League and the Sussex County League. This was to fulfil the expansion of the Isthmian League Divisions One North and South from 22 to 24 clubs each.[1] The two clubs were to be promoted on a points per game basis,[2] and the two runners-up with the best PPG were VCD Athletic (Kent Football League) and Guernsey (Combined Counties League). Three others – Aylesbury United (Spartan South Midlands League), Redhill (Sussex County League) and Barkingside (Essex Senior League) – were also confirmed as promoted by the FA on 17 May, due to resignations and non-promotions elsewhere.
- From this league, only Badshot Lea, Egham Town, Epsom & Ewell, Guernsey, Hanworth Villa, Molesey, South Park and Wembley applied for promotion.[3][4]
