About North East Colleges' League
College football across the North East
The North East Colleges’ League is a football competition for further-education colleges, sixth-form colleges and associated college programmes across north-east England.

Read the full league overview
The competition includes predominantly Under-19 sides, together with some Under-21 and open-age college teams. These examples and age groups reflect the current programme rather than a fixed annual membership list.
College team competition
Fixtures are generally played during the week, fitting the academic-year pattern of college football. The current competition includes teams from college football academies, development squads and first-team college sides.
Students interested in representing a college should speak to their college sports or football staff about trials and squad arrangements. FA Full-Time provides live fixtures, results, tables and team information for the competition.
