Levels 1–4

Following the relegation of Tranmere in 2015, Everton and Liverpool became the only two remaining Merseyside teams in professional leagues. Matches between them are known as the Merseyside derby. However, Tranmere Rovers returned to the Football League after three seasons away, thanks to a 2-1 victory in the 2018 National League play-off final against Boreham Wood at Wembley. The 2018/19 season saw them advance through the League Two playoffs, and reach League One. The club were relegated to League Two in the 2019/20 season on a points per game basis due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
