The Plymouth and West Devon Football League is a football competition based in Devon, England. The league's top division, Premier Division, sits at level 12 of the English football league system.
In Plymouth, between World War I and Two there was a United Churches League – which was the origin of the Plymouth Combination League. It later amalgamated with the Plymouth and District League to become the Plymouth and District Combination League, and then amalgamated with Plymouth's two Sunday leagues to become the Plymouth and West Devon Combination Football League. It is thus one of the few leagues in England to administer both Saturday and Sunday competitions. Because of this, many clubs have both Saturday and Sunday teams under the same name.
Since 1904 a youth league, the Devon Junior and Minor League, has existed as a platform for teams with age ranges of U9s to U18s in Plymouth, South West Devon and East Cornwall. Numerous clubs in the Plymouth and West Devon Football League have youth teams in the DJM, such as Tavistock Community, Hooe Rovers, Activate and Signal Box Frankfort, to name a few. This is more common with fully fledged sports clubs, and less common with 'pub teams'.
The league (currently known under a sponsorship arrangement as the Optimus Performance Marketing Plymouth and West Devon Football League) is currently a feeder to the South West Peninsula League, and has four Saturday divisions – Premier Division, Division One, Division Two & Division Three, along with 3 Sunday League divisions.
