The Sunday Football League (SFL) is an Australian rules football league based in Perth, Western Australia.

It was founded in 1993 as the Mercantile Football Association, and was renamed to the Metro Football League in 2012. It adopted its current name ahead of the 2024 season.

The league currently consists of seven clubs; a further 33 clubs have competed across its three decades.^[1]

Formerly known as the Mercantile Football Association, the league had its origins as a social league playing fortnightly in the late 1980s. Competing clubs included Cockburn Cement, Komatsu and the Rosemount Hotel.^[2]

A change in the administration in the late 1990s saw a more formalised competition, meaning incorporation of the league, board of control, a regular season, transfers, and accredited umpires officiating. New clubs joining had more of a community base, rather than social or workplace, with some of those being Quinns and Ellenbrook. Transitions in the clubs occurred also, with Cockburn Cement becoming Cockburn and based in that suburb. Yanchep and Dwellingup also became active in promoting the game and junior development in their areas.

The league made headlines in 2009 when former Richmond AFL player Andrew Krakouer, imprisoned for assault, played for the Wooroloo Prison Farm football team whilst serving his sentence. The Wooroloo team went through the season undefeated and won the grand final.^[3]

The Mercantile Football Association (MFA) changed its name to Metro Football League (MFL) in 2012. Bayswater and Queens Park joined the MFL for season 2013, with Baldivis and Secret Harbour leaving the MFL.

The league changed its name to the Sunday Football League following the 2023 season. A number of clubs departed the league prior to the 2024 season, with Dwellingup entering recess, Brighton Seahawks merging with ECU in the Perth Football League and South Mandurah and Armadale withdrawing their teams. Warwick Greenwood re-joined the league following 3 seasons in the Hills Football Association.
