The Central Wales Football League (formerly the Mid Wales Football League) is a football league in Wales in tier four of the Welsh Football pyramid, run by the Central Wales Football Association.
The league consists of two regionally-based divisions: a Northern Division and a Southern Division. The league offers a promotion route to the tier three Ardal Leagues administered by the Football Association of Wales. Relegation is possible to the relevant tier five level leagues in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion and Montgomeryshire.
History Until the end of the 2019–20 season the league sat at tier three and tier four of the pyramid, with the tier three Division One offering promotion to the Cymru North.
Changes from the 2020–21 season For the 2020–21 season, the league existed at tier four of the Welsh football league system and was called the Mid Wales League, with an east and a west division. The east division was known as the Mid Wales League East. The geographical area of the east division was to be a combination of those parts of the area presently served by the Montgomeryshire League and the Mid Wales South League. The west division was known as the Mid Wales League West. The geographical area of the west division was a combination of those parts of the area then served by the Aberystwyth League and the Ceredigion League. Each division was to have no more than 16 clubs.
Changes from the 2022–23 season From the 2022-23 season onwards, the Mid Wales Football League was divided into north and south divisions in a bid to increase membership after the inaugural western league ran with only seven clubs for the 2021–22 season. The league was renamed the Central Wales Football League.
Sponsorship It was named for SPAR under a sponsorship deal until 2018. From 2018–19 it would then take the name MMP with Norman R Lloyd Mid Wales League. As of the 2026–27 season, it is known as the MMP Central Wales League.
