The 2021–22 Western Football League season (known as the 2021–22 Toolstation Western Football League for sponsorship reasons) was the 120th in the history of the Western Football League, a football competition in England. Teams were divided into two divisions; the Premier and the First.
The constitution was announced on 18 May 2021.[1]
After the abandonment of the previous two seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[2] [3] a number of promotions were decided on a points per game basis over the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons.
The Premier Division was reduced to 19 clubs from 21 after Plymouth Parkway were promoted to the Southern League, and Bradford Town, Chipping Sodbury Town, Cribbs, Hallen, Roman Glass St George and Westbury United were transferred to the Hellenic League. Odd Down requested demotion to Division One, which the league accepted.
Prior to this season, Bridgwater Town merged with women's club Yeovil United, forming Bridgwater United.[4]
Six new clubs joined the division.
