Promotion from the Premier Division is possible to the lowest tier of the South Wales Premier League, with the champion of the league playing the other tier 7 champions from the South Wales regional leagues via play-off games to determine promotion.
Since 2025 the league has been made up of two divisions - a Premier Division for first teams, and a Division One for reserve teams. Before then both first and reserve teams could play in the same divisions, though reserve teams were banned from the Premier Division. [1]
