Birmingham & District Football League

The organisation began as the Birmingham & District Amateur Football Association and League. Its history records that it started with friendlies and the Chatrian Cup before introducing league competition in 1922. In 2015 it ended its Association status and adopted the Birmingham & District Football League name.

League and cup football

The league's official history describes a Premier Division with seven lower divisions. It also runs cup competitions across its membership, including Senior, Intermediate, Junior, Bill Hill, Norman Worskett, Holder, Jeffs, Veterans and Youth cups. The detailed make-up of divisions and cup entries can change, so FA Full-Time is the best place for current competition information.

Saturday is the league's regular matchday: its published rules specify same-day Full-Time result reporting for Saturday fixtures, with separate arrangements for midweek games. That makes the competition a Saturday option for adult amateur teams in its stated area.

Standards and participation

The league's rules set out a commitment to inclusivity and non-discrimination, and require participating clubs to follow FA rules, regulations and policies. The league also uses FA Full-Time for its competition administration and live match information.
