The Central Wales Football League(formerly the Mid Wales Football League) is a football league in Wales at tier four of the Welsh Football pyramid, run by the Central Wales Football Association. The league consists of two regionally based divisions - a Northern Division and a Southern Division. The league offers a promotion route to the Football Association of Wales administered tier three Ardal Leagues. Relegation is possible to the relevant tier five level leagues in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion and Montgomeryshire.
Until the end of the 2019–20 season the league sat at tier three and tier four of the pyramid, with the tier three Division One offering promotion to the Cymru North.
For the 2020–21 season, the league existed at tier four of the Welsh football league system and was called the Mid Wales League, with an east and a west division. The east division was known as the Mid Wales League East. The geographical area of the east division shall be a combination of those parts of the area presently served by the Montgomeryshire League and the Mid Wales South League. The west division was known as the Mid Wales League West. The geographical area of the west division was a combination of those parts of the area presently served by the Aberystwyth League and the Ceredigion League. Each division shall have no more than 16 clubs. [1]
The Mid Wales Central League will from this season onwards be divided between north and south in a bid to increase membership after the inaugural western league ran with only seven clubs for the 2021–22 season, and was renamed the Central Wales Football League.
