The FA released their league allocations for the upcoming season, which confirmed that Harlow Town will play their football in the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division (Step 5).

Fellow Thurlow Nunn League promotion-winning team Hackney Wick were placed in the Essex Senior League after winning the playoffs, with the Hawks being geographically placed in the Spartan league.

This opens up the opportunity for some interesting new grounds for supporters to visit, as well as a local derby in Sawbridgeworth Town vs Harlow Town.
