This is a list of English football seasons played by Devonshire Park (1881 until 1889), Eastbourne (1889 until 1971) and Eastbourne Town Football Club from 1971 to the present day. Their early years (1881-1905) were spent playing in friendly and cup games. It wasn't until 1898 when Eastbourne competed in the FA Cup and FA Amateur Cup. Eastbourne joined the South Eastern League in 1905, replacing Eastbourne Swifts, the league agreed for Eastbourne to continue playing in their place. In 1907 Eastbourne were founder members of the Southern Amateur Football League and played between 1907 and 1946,[1] winning the league on two occasions. Eastbourne were also founder members of the Sussex County League in 1920 playing just one season alongside the Southern Amateur league. Eastbourne left for the Corinthian League from 1946 until it merged with the Athenian League in 1963, playing in Divisions One and Two. In 1976, Eastbourne Town re-joined the Sussex County League playing in Divisions One and Two until promotion into the Isthmian Football League in 2007 before being relegated into back into the Sussex County League in 2015. In 2015, the Sussex County Football League was renamed into the Southern Combination Football League, the divisions being renamed into Premier and Division One.
