The East of Scotland Football League (EoSFL) is a league of football teams from south-east Scotland, which was formed in 1923. The league sits at level 6 on the pyramid system, on a par with the South of Scotland Football League and is proposed to act as a feeder to the Lowland Football League.
Its clubs are largely drawn from the Edinburgh, Lothians and Scottish Borders areas. A total of 16 teams will compete in 2015–16, drawn from the 29 members of the sister organisation, the East of Scotland Football Association (EoSFA).
From the 2014–15 season, it is proposed that the winner of the East of Scotland Football League will face the winner of the South of Scotland Football League for a place in the 2015–16 Lowland Football League. This will be subject to the club meeting the sufficient licensing criteria to satisfy the terms of promotion.
The EoSFL was traditionally one of Scotland's three "senior" non-leagues, which sat below the Scottish Football League (SFL), the other two being the Highland Football League and the South of Scotland Football League (SoSFL). In 2013, a new Lowland League was formed covering all of Scotland, south of the River Tay to act as a direct feeder to the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL). Although initially there will not be any automatic promotion and relegation between the EoSFL and the Lowland League, it is planned to be the first step towards creating a coherent Scottish football pyramid.
