The 2025–26 Wessex Football League season is the 40th in the history of the Wessex Football League since its establishment in 1986. The league consists of two divisions: the Premier Division and Division One.

The constitution was announced on 15 May 2025.[1] The Premier Division (step 5) promotes two clubs; one as champions and one via a four-team play-off.

Premier Division

The Premier Division remains at 20 clubs, after A.F.C. Portchester and Fareham Town were promoted to the Isthmian League South Division, and Blackfield & Langley and United Services Portsmouth were relegated to Division One.

Four new teams joined the division:
