The Hampshire Premier League is an FA Accredited Regional Feeder League, promoting into Step 6 of the National League System (NLS) and affiliated to Hampshire FA.

In-bound, the League accepts clubs within the Mid Solent, Southampton, Aldershot, Isle of Wight and Basingstoke Leagues, while its current membership also includes a number of former Wessex League clubs.

The original Hampshire Football League was founded in 1896, administered by Hampshire FA - however in 1993, The FA ruled that County FA's could no longer administer their own Leagues.

This gave way to a new, volunteer-run League - the main change being Hampshire FA's crest being replaced by a new logo featuring the League name over the Hampshire Rose. This version of the League ran until 2004, when it amalgamated with Division Three of the Wessex League. 

Several club's refusal to join the new set-up resulted in a break-away 'Hampshire League - 2004' being formed. Change was afoot once more in 2007, when the Wessex League dissolved Division Three, with the rejected clubs immediately forming their own league - the Hampshire Premier Football League, in readiness for 2007/08 - and another crest change to its current form - now featuring the Hampshire Hog pig and Hampshire Rose.

It ran alongside the 'Hampshire League - 2004' until the end of 2012/13 when 2004 was dissolved - the majority of its sides joining the newly-formed Division One of the Hampshire Premier League.

This brings us up to the current-day format, with the Hampshire Premier League consisting of a Senior Division of 17 teams, with a further 13 clubs comprising Division One.

Bush Hill won the Senior Division in 2019/20, subsequently changing their name to Millbrook and taking their place in the Wessex League for the 2020/21 season.

After two seasons of unfulfilled campaigns due to the covid pandemic, Colden Common's late charge ensured The Stallions took the Senior Division title on the last day of 2021/22. Meanwhile, QK Southampton triumphed in Division One South East, with Andover New Street Swifts claiming the Division One North crown.

L4 Teamwear were introduced as the HPFL's sponsors, with the League's structure revised for the start of the 2022/23 campaign, as Division One became County-wide once more - losing its regionality of 'South East' and 'North' separations to reform a more linear pathway.

The Supplementary Shield - brought in as an additional competition during the pandemic and won by Hook in 2021/22 - was renamed The George Mason Memorial Shield, in honour of our late Chairman. The competition features losing sides from the first round of the League Challenge Cup.
