The Non-League Football Show is a weekly radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live and released by the BBC as a podcast. The show covers news and features from non-league football, that is, club football played in England at levels below The Football League. The presenter since its launch in 2006 has been Caroline Barker, [1] who is accompanied each week by between two and four studio contributors, often from a mixture of regulars and special guests.

The Non-League Football Show was originally broadcast on BBC London 94.9. [2] It was moved to Radio 5 in August 2012, broadcasting at 05:30am. [3] An extended edition is also available as a podcast and the show has peaked at number 29 in the UK iTunes chart. [4]

The show has strong connections to non-league football, [2] with Barker having previously been a director at Chelmsford City. Many of the guests and regular contributors work or have worked in non-league football. Frequent contributors since the shows launch include Dave Watters, a football journalist who works in public-relations for the Northern Premier League and Southern Premier League, and Dave Anderson, who has managed several non-league clubs. [5] 'Swampy' of FC United of Manchester radio has appeared on the show since its move to Radio 5. [6] Previous contributors from the programme's Radio London days include Alan Alger during his time working for the Blue Square Conference and Willie Wordsworth, former player and manager.[7][8]
