The 1962–63 season was the 61st in the history of the Western Football League.

Final table

The league was increased from 20 to 22 clubs after two new clubs joined:

  • Andover
  • Exeter City Reserves, rejoining after leaving the league in 1961.
  • 1 The system of using goal average to separate two teams tied on points was used up to and including the 1976–77 season.

    2 The points system: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for losing.

    3 The tables as published at the time contained errors, hence the totals do not balance in some columns.
