The Port Talbot & District Football League, also known as the Port Talbot Football League is a league competition featuring non-professional association football clubs in the area of Port Talbot, South Wales. Founded in 1926, it is one of the oldest such competition in Wales. The main competition consists of two divisions named "Premier League" & "Division One" .
