2017–18 West Midlands (Regional) League#Premier Division
The 2017–18 West Midlands (Regional) League season was the 118th in the history of the West Midlands (Regional) League, an English association football competition for semi-professional and amateur teams based in the West Midlands county, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and southern Staffordshire. The league operates three divisions: the Premier Division, see below, at level 10 in the English football league system, Division One at level 11, and Division Two. The Premier Division is one of three divisions which feed into the Midland League Premier Division, the other two being the East Midlands Counties League and the Midland League's own Division One.
The constitution for Step 5 and Step 6 divisions for 2017–18 was announced on 26 May 2017, and following one amendment, the WMRC Premier Division constitution was ratified at the league's AGM on 26 Jun.{{cite web |url=http://www.swpleague.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Club-Allocations-Step-5.6-2017-18-v3-updated-26.5.17.pdf |title=Club Allocations for Step 5–6 |date=26 May 2017 |access-date=26 May 2017 |publisher=FA }}{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
