The short answer
What is the Creative Football League?
The Creative Football League is a weekly five-a-side football league in London for creative agencies, production companies and design studios. Secta runs a ten-week managed season in Aldgate with qualified referees, booked pitches and a live table, finishing with a finals night.
- Rolling subs, qualified referees
- 5-a-side
- season, plus finals night
- 10 weeks
- 3G, floodlit
- Aldgate
- players per squad
- 7 to 10
Creative London is a small world that mostly meets at award ceremonies and pitch meetings. This is a better version of that: a Wednesday night league where agencies, studios and production companies play each other every week for ten weeks.
It's the league where the banter is best and the standard is more variable than anyone admits. You enter a team, we handle fixtures, pitches, referees and the table, and your squad turns up and plays.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How do I enter a team into the Creative Football League?
Tell us your company name and roughly how many players you can field. We hold your slot while you confirm your squad, then send fixtures, venue details and kit information before the season starts. No payment is taken until your place is confirmed.
What if we can't fill a full squad?
Squads of 7 to 10 work best across a season, but plenty of teams enter with fewer and top up as colleagues join. If you're short, tell us, we regularly help companies fill gaps so nobody is stuck playing every minute of every week.
Do we need experienced players?
No. These are mixed-ability leagues and most teams play for the social side as much as the football. Games are properly refereed so they stay competitive without getting silly.
What happens if we can't make a fixture?
Let us know as early as you can and we'll do what we can to move it. Fixtures are set at the start of the season so you can plan around them, and rolling substitutes mean you can play with a thin squad if a few people drop out.
Can we join once the season has started?
Sometimes. If a slot opens up in the first couple of weeks we can usually fit a team in, though you'll start with games in hand. Otherwise we'll add you to the list for the next season.
Can Secta film our matches?
Yes. Secta produces content as well as running leagues, so we can cover match nights and turn round social edits or a season highlight film. It's a separate service, tell us on your enquiry and we'll quote it alongside your entry.
