Introduction

The BUCS Football League is the association football league system of British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS). It is the largest sport in UK higher education, with over 450 men's and women's teams competing in 100 leagues.

The league follows the standard BUCS double pyramid, with two Premier divisions (North and South) sitting above five regions (Scottish, Northern, Midlands, Western and South Eastern). There are five divisions, one for each region, in the top regional tier (Tier 1), but at lower tiers the regions may be sub-divided into A, B, etc. divisions on a geographical basis. There are eight levels (Premier to Tier 7) in the men's pyramid and five (Premier to Tier 4) in the women's pyramid. Divisions each consist of six teams, with the exception of the bottom division in each region.

BUCS action

The league season runs from September to April, with each team playing each other once during the regular season. The top four teams in the Premier Division at the end of the regular season qualify for the BUCS National Championship, which is a knockout competition.

The BUCS Football League is a great way for students to get involved in football at a competitive level. It is also a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends.
