The National League, National League North and National League South competitions have all been suspended indefinitely, the National League Board has announced.

Having controversially played a day after the Premier League and EFL had announced their games were off due to Covid-19, the competition belatedly called a halt to their matches on March 16.

Discussions as to how best finish the season have continued and the National League has now confirmed its three seasons are subject to an undetermined postponement.

A statement said: "In consideration of the very serious and unprecedented national public health emergency caused by the coronavirus, the Board has taken the decision to suspend the National League, National League North and National League South competitions indefinitely.

"The National League is currently obtaining specialist legal advice, is consulting regularly with The Football Association and other stakeholders, and is committed to involving its member clubs in a pending decision on how best to conclude the 2019/20 season."
