The Port Talbot & District Football League, also known as the Port Talbot Football League, is a league competition featuring non-professional association football clubs in the area of Port Talbot, South Wales. Founded in 1926, it is one of the oldest such competition in Wales. The first champions were Baglan United. The main competition consists of two divisions named "Premier League" & "Division One" . The Premier League is a feeder to the South Wales Alliance League Division One, and therefore sits at tier 7 of the Welsh football pyramid.
Background The league is currently one division. It has recently also run as a single division which splits at the midway point. The split consisted of the Port Talbot Premier League, followed by the Port Talbot Division One.
The League is administered by Mr T. Lewis (chairman), Mr A. Short (Vice Chairman), Mr B. Owen (Treasurer) and Mr David King (General Secretary).
Among the clubs who have progressed to a higher level from the Port Talbot Football League is Goytre United, Cornelly United and Tata Steel.
Promotion from the Premier League is possible to the lowest tier of the South Wales Premier League, with the champion of the league playing the other tier 7 champions from the South Wales regional leagues via play-off games to determine promotion.
