The division will finish on Saturday, April 27, 2024, with the playoff semi-finals being held during the following midweek, and the playoff finals on Monday, May 6, 2024.

Speaking to the Gazette after the 1-0 win against AFC Bournemouth in the Hampshire Senior Cup Final, where the team won the treble for the first time in the club's history, manager Dan Brownlie shared a few thoughts about the upcoming season.

He said: "We've got a good side, I believe they'll stick together, we want them to stick together but it is going to be a tough setting next year.

"I'll give myself a bit of freedom now to wind down, and then I'll think about next year."

Basingstoke will be joined in their new league by Isthmian League Southern Central play-off champions Walton & Hersham, and will face the likes of Winchester City and newly promoted Didcot Town.
