The Midland Football League is a semi-professional football league standing at levels 9–12 of the English football league system. It has most recently covered areas of the West Midlands County, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire and Herefordshire.

History

The league was formed in 2014 following the merger of the Midland Alliance and Midland Combination.

Successful Premier Division clubs can win promotion to the 8th level of the English football league system, while the competition also has a number of feeder leagues at level 11, which provide new member clubs each year. Entry can also be gained by applying from non-pyramid leagues such as the Birmingham & District Football League.

Clubs are also liable to be transferred to other leagues if the FA deems it geographically suitable to do so.
