2023–24 South West Peninsula League

The 2023–24 South West Peninsula League season is the 17th in the history of the South West Peninsula League, a football competition in England, that feeds the Premier Division of the Western Football League. The league was formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League, and, with the exceptions of Bishops Lydeard in Somerset and Bridport in Dorset, features clubs based in Cornwall and Devon. The two divisions of the South West Peninsula League are on the same level of the National League System as the Western League Division One (Step 6).

The constitution was announced on 15 May 2023.^[1]

Premier Division East

South West Peninsula League

← 2022–23 2024–25 →

Premier Division East will feature 17 teams, reduced from 19 the previous season, after Brixham were promoted to the Western League Premier Division; Holsworthy were transferred to Premier Division West, and Plymouth Marjon and Elmore were relegated.

Two clubs joined the division:

• Bishops Lydeard, transferred from Western League Division One.
• Stoke Gabriel & Torbay Police, promoted from the Devon Football League South & West Division.

• A reprieve from relegation for the club finishing 15th is likely due to movements elsewhere in the pyramid, and a reprieve for the club finishing 16th is possible depending on PPG. A reprieve for the bottom club is less likely.
