Western Football League
Season2024–25

The 2024–25 Western Football League season (known as the 2024–25 Jewson Western Football League for sponsorship reasons) will be the 123rd in the history of the Western Football League, a football competition in England. Teams are divided into two divisions: the Premier and the First.

The constitution was announced on 17 May 2024.[1]

The Premier Division (step 5) will promote two clubs; one as champions and one via a four-team play-off.

Premier Division

The Premier Division is increased from 18 to 20 clubs after Helston Athletic and Falmouth Town were promoted to the Southern League Division One South and Millbrook were relegated to the South West Peninsula League Premier Division West.

Five new clubs joined the division:
