1917–18 in English football
- 1917–18 in English football
The 1917-18 season was the third season of special wartime football in England during World War I.
Overview
Between 1915 and 1919 competitive football was suspended in England. Many footballers signed up to fight in the war and as a result many teams were depleted, and fielded guest players instead. The Football League and FA Cup were suspended and in their place regional league competitions were set up. Appearances in these tournaments do not count in players' official records.
Honours
There were three regional leagues. Each league, except the London Combination, was split into a principal tournament, consisting of a single league, and then a subsidiary tournament of four groups.
A championship playoff was held between Stoke and Leeds City, which Leeds won 2-1 on aggregate.
