The Mid Sussex Football League is an association football league formed in 1900. The league is headed by the Premier Division which is at level eleven of the English football league system and member clubs are based in East Sussex, West Sussex and south-eastern Surrey. Current sponsors are Gray Hooper Holt LLP and the league is currently known as the Gray Hooper Holt LLP Mid Sussex League.

History

The league was founded in 1900, made up of seven founder clubs: Ardingly, Burgess Hill, Crawley, Cuckfield, Haywards Heath, Hurstpierpoint and Three Bridges. League rules stipulated clubs had to be from within a twelve-mile radius of Haywards Heath, where the league was founded. In 1903 a second division was formed and the league was accepting membership from clubs based on the south coast. A third division was formed in 1921 and divisions four and five formed in the 1950s.{{cite web |url=https://midsussexfl.co.uk/cms-data/depot/hipwig/MSFL-History.pdf |title=MSFL-History |access-date=8 August 2021}}

The Premier Division was formed in 1974 to replace Division One as the top division and another four divisions were added throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 2002 the league took over management of the Mid Sussex Football Association Senior and Junior Charity Cups following the disbandment of the Mid Sussex Football Association. The Championship Division was formed in 2010.
