About West Sussex Football League
Read more →The West Sussex Football League stands as one of England's oldest football competitions, having been established in 1896. With a rich heritage spanning over 125 years, this league has become a cornerstone of grassroots football in the southern English county.
The league currently comprises 78 teams competing across eight divisions, creating a robust pyramid structure that allows for promotion and relegation. Teams such as AFC Fishbourne, Barnham Trojans, Barns Green, and Horsham Crusaders battle weekly on pitches throughout West Sussex, fostering local rivalries and community spirit.
The competition serves as an important stepping stone for clubs with ambitions to progress up the English football ladder, while also providing a competitive environment for purely recreational sides. This balance of aspiration and accessibility has helped the West Sussex Football League maintain its relevance and popularity through generations of players and supporters.
