Ossett United FC are a West Yorkshire club formed on 1 June 2018 through the merger of Ossett Town and Ossett Albion. They compete in the Northern Premier League East Division at Step 4 in 2026/27. Their home is Ingfield Stadium, the former ground of Ossett Town.
Two clubs, one future
The merger brought together two clubs with established histories in Ossett: Ossett Town, founded in 1936, and Ossett Albion, founded in 1944. Both had reached the Northern Premier League before the merger. The combined club was created to strengthen senior football in the town and provide a more sustainable future for the local game.
The early years of Ossett United
Since formation, Ossett United have carried the town’s senior football identity into a new era, building on the history and support of both predecessor clubs. Their place in the Northern Premier League East puts them in a competitive regional division with regular fixtures across Yorkshire and the North East.
Honours and club development
The club’s modern story is best understood through the merger and its continuing work to establish a strong first-team and community structure. Historic achievements from Ossett Town and Ossett Albion belong to those predecessor clubs; current results and honours should be checked against Ossett United’s own records.
