The Combination was a league in the early days of English football. It had two formats. The first was only for the 1888–89 season. It was for teams across Northern England and the Midlands. It finished before the season end. The second started with the 1890–91 season. It continued until 1911. The league had teams mostly from North West England and later Wales.
There was also another league called the Football Combination. This was a competition for reserve teams from the South of England. There was also a small league called the Lancashire Combination around the same time.
