Nuneaton Town, Leamington FC, Bedworth United, Rugby Town and Stratford Town will need licences from their league in order to participate in matches this season.
A change in the FA rules means that clubs at steps 1-4 of the non-league pyramid will be assessed on a number of criteria which the FA hopes will promote financial stability.
The FA have said: “From the 2016-17 season clubs in Steps 1 to 4 of the football pyramid (Football Conference and the three leagues below) will need a licence from their leagues to compete.
“Clubs will be assessed in various areas including legal, ownership, integrity, stadia and finance in order to obtain a licence.
“The introduction of the licences is an important step to help protect clubs and to promote financial stability at this level of the game.
“Further regulations approved by The FA Council include changes to The Owner’s and Director’s Test for clubs in the Football Conference and the three leagues below.
“The changes allow The FA to publicise the results of ODTs if necessary and to take quicker action against a club and an officer that fails to comply with the regulations.
“The changes are designed to improve the transparency and efficiency of the ODT processes and will come into effect from 1 August 2015.”
