The 2024–25 Combined Counties Football League season (known as the 2024–25 Cherry Red Records Combined Counties Football League for sponsorship reasons) was the 47th in the history of the Combined Counties Football League, a football competition in England. The league consists of four divisions: the Premier North, the Premier South, Division One and Division Two. Division Two (details beyond the scope of this article) is intended largely for reserve and U23 sides, although it is also open to first teams.[1]
The constitution was announced on 17 May 2024.[2] The two Premier Divisions (step 5) promote two clubs each; one each as champions and one each via a four-team play-off.
Premier Division North
[edit]Premier Division North remains at 20 clubs, after Flackwell Heath and Rayners Lane were promoted to step 4, and Chalfont St Peter were relegated to Division One.
Three new clubs joined the division, all from Division One:
Wokingham & Emmbrook reverted to their original name of Wokingham Town.
