The 2024–25 Wessex Football League season is the 39th 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 17 May 2024.[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 Moneyfields and Shaftesbury were promoted to the Southern League South Division; Petersfield Town were transferred to the Southern Combination League, and Lymington Town were relegated to Division One.

Four new teams joined the division:
