Welcome to Northern Wellbeing Football, a unique 11-a-side football league where the beautiful game meets a powerful purpose. We bring together teams united not just by their love of football, but by a shared commitment to improving both the mental and physical wellbeing of their players.
Founded in 2023, Northern Wellbeing Football began under the umbrella of a weight-loss-focused league. What started as a way to provide organised friendlies and extra minutes of football quickly evolved into something much bigger. As we listened to the needs of our players and communities, we broadened our mission to include a vital focus on mental health and emotional resilience.
Today, our league welcomes teams from across the region and beyond, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals of all backgrounds can come together, get active, and look after their mental and physical wellbeing.
As we head into the 2025–26 season, we’re taking things to the next level. Expect more teams, a refreshed league format, and a richer overall experience.
