The North East Wales Football League represents the North East Wales area at the fourth and fifth tiers of the Welsh football league system. It was established in 2020 as a successor to the North East Wales League following a reorganisation of the Welsh football pyramid. The league has two divisions:
the Premier Division at Tier 4, which offers a promotion route to the Tier 3 Ardal Leagues, and
the League Championship at Tier 5.

History
The league was established in 2020. After the member clubs for the first season were announced, the list was amended before the season was due to commence due to clubs folding and moving divisions. The proposed inaugural season was abandoned due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It was eventually launched in July 2021 for the 2021–22 season with some changes to the list of participating teams.
