Highland Football League

The Scottish Highland Football League (SHFL, commonly known as the Highland League) is a senior football league based in the north of Scotland. The league sits at level 5 on the Scottish football league system, acting as a feeder to the Scottish Professional Football League.

Founded in 1893, it is currently composed of 18 member clubs in a single division. Geographically, the league covers Scotland north of the Tay, including the Highland council region as well as Moray, Aberdeenshire, the cities of Aberdeen and Dundee, Angus and parts of northern Perthshire.

Since 2014–15, it has featured in the senior pyramid system. The winners take part in an end-of-season promotion play-off with the Lowland Football League champions, with the winners then competing against the bottom club in Scottish League Two for a place in the SPFL. Promotion and relegation also exists between the two Highlands-based regional leagues at level 6 (The North Caledonian League, and the North of Scotland Football League). Prior to the 2025–26 season, the Tayside based Midlands Football League was also a feeder to the Highland League, before moving to become a feeder league to the Lowland League East, when the Lowland League restructured into East and West.

The league's current sponsorship deal is with the Breedon Group.
