1949–50 Western Football League

This was the first and only season in the history of the Western League in which it consisted of three divisions.

Division Three was created largely from reserve sides of existing members, but was abandoned at the end of the season.

The champions for the first time in their history were Wells City, and the winners of Division Two were new club Barnstaple Town.

Weymouth had moved up to the Southern League and were replaced in Division One by their Reserves.

Division Two remained at eighteen clubs, after Cheltenham Town Reserves and Chippenham United were promoted to Division One, and RAF Melksham left the league.
