The Victorian State League is an Australian soccer league based in Victoria that was founded in 1958 and administered by Football Victoria. It consists of five metropolitan divisions (separated by two zones for divisions 1–3, and four zones for divisions 4–5), and is used for promotion to the Victoria Premier League. The league was formerly known as the Victorian Metropolitan League from 1958 to 1984 and Victorian League from 1985 to 1990.
The league was formed in 1958; it has had many name changes such as Metropolitan League, and Victorian League. It was only known as State League since 1991.
