The Peterborough & District Football League is a football competition in England. It has a total of six divisions, the highest of which the Premier Division sits at step 7 of the National League System (level 11 of the English football league system). It is a feeder to the United Counties League Division One.
For the 2012–13 season there are 86 teams competing in the league, which under the terms of a sponsorship agreement is known as the ChromaSport & Trophies Peterborough & District Football League.
The 2009–10 season was dominated by Rutland Rangers who won both the Premier League and the Senior Cup at Peterborough United's London Road for the second successive season.
In 2010–11 the PDFL made new 'combination leagues' for reserve and 'a' teams.

The league also introduced a Veterans Section, which was competed by 8 teams separated into two zones.

“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
