Founded in 2021, the inaugural season was contested by 19 clubs, largely from those who still remained in the SJFA East Region from the previous season. Geographically, the league covers Angus, Perth and Kinross, Dundee and Fife (all East Region clubs based further south already having left the SJFA to join the East of Scotland Football League over the previous five years).
The winners take part in an end-of-season promotion play-off with the SJFA North Superleague and North Caledonian League champions, subject to clubs meeting the required licensing criteria.
