Defeat in the play-offs proved to be painful after a bad run to the end of the season saw Notts missed out on the top three and then via the play-offs.
They will go into the new season with a new manager after Stuart Maynard paid the price for that failure.
But whoever is in charge, he will lead a Notts side full of new belief that next season can be their year.
It promises to be another very competitive season with neighbours Chesterfield also fancying their chances of lifting the title, after play-off defeat.
Chesterfield paid the price last time out for a slow start to the season with two many draws holding them back. An untimely dip in form caused by injuries to key players and lack of squad depth also bit hard.
But they showed what they can do in the run-in with title-winning form providing plenty of confidence for the 2025/26 season.
Bristol Rovers will be looking for a quick return to League One after their relegation, while MK Dons and Salford City head in to the season with budgets and ambition.
Whoever takes the title it promises to be yet another gripping season ahead.
