The Wiltshire Football League, also known as the Wiltshire League and the Wiltshire Senior League, is a football league in England which was formed by amalgamation in 1976. All clubs are affiliated to a County Football Association. The area covered by the competition is the county of Wiltshire and 15 miles beyond the county boundary. The league is at Level 11 (Step 7) of England's National League System pyramid, and operates a Premier Division, Division 1, two Ladies’ Divisions, an U18 Youth Floodlight Division and two Veterans (over 35's) divisions.
The league is sponsored by Corsham Print.
History The league was established in 1976 by the Wiltshire Football Association as a replacement for the Wiltshire Combination League and the amateur Wiltshire League.
Sponsorship by Corsham Print began in 2015–16. Starting in 2016–17, the Swindon & District League and the Trowbridge & District League became formal feeder leagues, with one club from each potentially promoted to the Wiltshire Senior League each season, and relegation in the other direction.
Wiltshire Senior Football League Limited, a private company limited by guarantee, was established in 2021.
