The 2015–16 Wessex Football League season (known as the Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) for sponsorship reasons) is the 30th in the history of the Wessex Football League since its establishment in 1986.
The league consists of two divisions: the Premier Division and Division One. The constitution was announced on 23 June 2015.[1]
Premier Division
The Premier Division features 21 teams, the same as last season, after Petersfield Town and Winchester City were promoted to the Southern League, and Christchurch and Totton & Eling were relegated to Division One.
Four teams joined the division:
- Cowes Sports, runners-up in Division One.
- Salisbury, a new club formed after the liquidation of Salisbury City.
- Sholing, demoted from Southern League Division One South & West for ground grading reasons.
- Team Solent, champions of Division One.
Four clubs have applied for promotion to Step 4: AFC Portchester, Andover Town, Blackfield & Langley and Salisbury.[2] AFC Portchester and Blackfield & Langley failed the ground grading requirements.
