The 1942–43 season was the fourth season of special wartime football in England during the Second World War.

Overview

Between 1939 and 1946 normal competitive football was suspended in England. Many footballers signed up to fight in the war and as a result many teams were depleted, and fielded guest players instead. The Football League and FA Cup were suspended and in their place regional league competitions were set up. Appearances in these tournaments do not count in players' official records.

Honours

League competition was split into three regional leagues, North, South and West.

Competition	Winner
League South	Arsenal
League West	Lovell's Athletic
League North
League North Cup	Manchester City
