North East Wales Football League

The North East Wales Football League (NEWFL) is an amateur football league in North East Wales, Wales. It represents the North East Wales area at the fourth and fifth tiers of the Welsh football league system.

The league was established in 2020 as a successor to the North East Wales League following a reorganisation of the Welsh football pyramid. The league has two divisions: the Premier Division at Tier 4, which offers a promotion route to the Tier 3 Ardal Leagues, and the League Championship at Tier 5.

History

The league was established in 2020. After the member clubs for the first season were announced, the list was amended before the season was due to commence due to clubs folding and moving divisions. The proposed inaugural season was abandoned due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It was eventually launched in July 2021 for the 2021–22 season with some changes to the list of participating teams.

The current champions of the Premier Division are Brickfield Rangers FC. The current champions of the League Championship are Llay Welfare FC.
