Victorian State League

The league was formed in 1958 as the Victorian Metropolitan League (VML), becoming the second-highest league in Victoria. It was renamed to the Victorian League in 1985, before adopting the VSL name in 1991. In 2014, the first-tier Victorian Premier League was rebranded as the National Premier Leagues (NPL). The introduction of the NPL 1 (later renamed to NPL 2) competition resulted in the VSL becoming the third-highest Victorian competition. A further change to the pyramid structure occurred in 2020 with the establishment of NPL 3, making the VSL the fourth-highest Victorian competition. ==Format==

In the 2014 season, the VSL 1 champions and runners-up (Eastern Lions and Moreland City respectively) were promoted to NPL 1, although no relegation to the VSL took place. This system was removed for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, but promotion and relegation was reintroduced in 2017, with the VSL 1 champions promoted and the bottom two placed clubs in NPL 2 relegated. Beginning from the 2026 season, VSL 4 and VSL 5 will move from having to four zones to two, resulting in the creation of sixth and seventh VSL divisions. This will result in all VSL divisions having North-West and South-East zones. ==Current members==
