The Eastern Floodlight League, formerly known as the Eastern Professional Floodlight League, was a football knock-out cup competition played from the 1960s until the 2000s.
History The Eastern Professional Floodlight League was founded in 1964 to provide additional midweek matches for semi-professional teams in the East and South East of England.
Initially running on a league basis, it quickly grew from the seven clubs of its inaugural season to ten clubs by 1966.
Several seasons of the competition were not completed, including its final season.
