Premier Three Yellow 2026

There are thirty-six contestants for the 2026 Bristol Premier League Division Three season, twenty-one of whom remain in the division from last season, while seven were relegated from Premier Two, six are returning to the league, and two are making their Premier League debuts.
Those 36 players have been arranged into three parallel divisions of twelve, Premier Three Green, Premier Three Yellow and Premier Three Purple, ordered as per their finishing positions last year, and for the new and returning entrants by a random draw.
In each division players play each other twice in 11-point matches giving a total of twenty-two matches each in the three divisions, in a season spanning the eleven months from January to November.
Players arrange their own fixtures, at mutually acceptable venues and times.
