Most reporting puts the average between £1,000 and £1,500 per week, which works out between £52,000 and £78,000 per year. These numbers are comfortably above the average UK salary, but it’s a long way from the riches and glamour of the Premier League and Championship. Of course, plenty of National League players are on less than £1,000 per week, too.

The average salary for a footballer in the National League is between £1,000-£1,500 with several players in the fifth tier of English football earning a weekly wage of £3,000 plus. This is slightly higher than the National League North and South average salaries which are roughly £500 per week. The weekly wage for National League players has increased greatly over the past decade with a vast majority of them earning upwards of £1,500.

In the National League, it’s thought that the average weekly wage is around £1,000. Some will earn less than that, of course, whereas others can earn considerably more. Although Wrexham is something of an anomaly at non-league level thanks to their rich owners, it’s believed that at least four of their players took home a minimum of £3,000 per week during the 2022/23 season.

There isn't a lot of data regarding the exact sums that National League players earn, but the average wage is estimated to be between £1,000 and £1,500 a week. Across a year, that means the average salary is between £52,000 and £78,000. However, there will, of course, be players who earn significantly more and less than that average.
