The National Soccer League (NSL) was a South African soccer league established in 1985 as a response to boardroom disagreements in the non-racial NPSL. The NPSL had been established in 1978 after a merger between the white NFL and the previous racial black NPSL. A portion of the NPSL continued under its own name, and later merged with the NSL to form today's Premier Soccer League (PSL).

The NSL faced accusations of endemic bribery and corruption in its ranks.
