The Brighton, Hove & District Football League is a football competition involving teams in and around Brighton, Hove and Worthing, in England. It was established in 2014 following a full merger between the Brighton, Hove & District League (formed 1903) and the Worthing and District League. It is headed by a combined Brighton and Worthing based Premier Division, with two regional Division Ones (Division One East for Brighton-based teams and Division One West for Worthing-based teams) and an additional Division Two West for Worthing-based teams. Pre-merger with Worthing & district League, the Brighton League used to have a Division Three, Four and Five, but Division Five was disbanded in 2003; Division Four was discontinued in 2009 and Division Three was discontinued in 2012. The decline in numbers is what led the league into amalgamating with the Worthing League, which was also in decline and struggling for numbers. The new league held its level in the pyramid and the winners of the Combined Premier Division may apply for promotion to the Southern Combination League Division Three.
