The 2025–26 East of Scotland Football League is the 97th season of the East of Scotland Football League, and the 12th season with its top division as part of the sixth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system.

From the 2026–27 season, a new Lowland Football League structure will be introduced with two divisions each of 16 members clubs (plus any B teams) running concurrently known as Lowland League East and Lowland League West. As a result, the 2025-26 season will be a transitional season with up to three teams from the Premier Division promoted to Lowland League East.

Background

At the Lowland Football League AGM in May 2025, a new league structure will be introduced from the 2026–27 season. The league will transition into two parallel divisions to be known as Lowland League East and Lowland League West. Membership would be based on geographic boundaries with the East of Scotland Football League and the Midlands Football League becoming feeder leagues for Lowland League East. To fill league membership up to 16 teams plus one guest team, up to five teams will be promoted from the 2025–26 East of Scotland Football League Premier Division and the 2025–26 Midlands Football League Premier Division. Priority will be given to the highest-ranked eligible clubs. To be eligible, a club must be club licensed with the Scottish Football Association.[1]

A new club, Cowdenbeath Central, was admitted to the league.[2]

Peebles Rovers withdrew from the league following issues around the compliance of their ground, Whitestone Park.[3]
