Midlands League
The Midlands Football League is a football league based in the Tayside area of Scotland. The league sits at levels 6 and 7 on the Scottish football league system, acting as a feeder to the Lowland Football League. Until 2025, the league was run by the East Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association.
Founded in 2021, the inaugural season was contested by 19 clubs, largely from those who still remained in the SJFA East Region from the previous season. Geographically, the league covers Angus, Perth and Kinross, Dundee and Fife (all East Region clubs based further south already having left the SJFA to join the East of Scotland Football League over the previous five years). In the summer of 2025, the league broke away from the SJFA to be an independent league operated by the Scottish Football Association and split into two divisions known as the Midlands Premier League and the Midlands First Division.
The winners previously took part in an end-of-season promotion play-off with the SJFA North Superleague and North Caledonian League champions for entry to the Highland League, subject to clubs meeting the required licensing criteria. However, due to the splitting of the Lowland League into the Lowland League East and Lowland League West for the season 2026–27, the Midlands League has now become a feeder for the Lowland League East rather than the Highland League.
