Introduction
The Brighton, Hove & District League - Div 1 is an amateur football league in England, based in and around Brighton, Hove and Worthing. It is currently in the ninth tier of the English football league system.
History
The league was founded in 1903 and reached ten divisions in size by 1967. However, with the number of clubs slowly decreasing and the league reduced to only two divisions between 2011 and 2013, a merger with the Worthing & District League began in 2014, initially with a combined Premier Division. The merger was completed in 2015 with the establishment of the Brighton, Worthing & District League.
Current season
The current season is the 2022-23 season. There are 16 teams competing in the division, with each team playing each other twice, once at home and once away.
