Capital League 1 is the second tier of men's senior football in Brisbane, Queensland (fourth overall within Australia) . It is administered and run by Football Brisbane. At the end of the regular season the top two teams are promoted to the Brisbane Premier League and the bottom two teams are relegated to the Capital League 2. There is a finals series at the end of the regular season.
From 2003 to 2012, the tier below the Brisbane Premier League was known as Brisbane Premier Division One. It operated as a twelve team competition from 2004 to 2009, then expanded to fourteen teams for season 2010, to accommodate clubs returning to the Brisbane Premier League from the now defunct Queensland State League.
Since being renamed Capital League 1 in 2013, the competition has returned to a 12 team format, with the champion team decided by a final series among the top four teams. Since 2014, the clubs finishing in the two top positions at the end of the regular season have been promoted to the Brisbane Premier League.
The clubs for the 2017 season are shown in the table below:
Another strong season from Mitchelton saw them finish premiers again at the top of the table. However the champions were Taringa Rovers after they won the finals series with a penalty shoot-out victory over Bayside United in the Grand Final. Mitchelton and Taringa Rovers were promoted to the Brisbane Premier League for 2015, with Taringa's promotion only decided when, needing to win, they won their final game of the regular season 3-2 against Annerley thanks to a late 84th minute goal.
