The 2026–27 Scottish Lowland Football League (known as the Park's Motor Group Scottish Lowland Football League for sponsorship reasons) is the 14th season of the Lowland Football League, part of the fifth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. Linlithgow Rose are the defending champions.
This is the first season in the league's current format after it was split into Lowland League East and Lowland League West following the conclusion of the 2025–26 season.
Background Ahead of the 2025–26 season, the Scottish Lowland Football League voted for league reconstruction which would see the league split into two divisions of 16 teams plus guest teams known as Lowland League East and Lowland League West. As a result, no teams were relegated in 2025–26 and teams were instead promoted from the West of Scotland League, the East of Scotland League, the South of Scotland League and the Midlands Football League. After failing to secure promotion to League Two, Brechin City transferred to the Lowland League from the Highland Football League.
Linlithgow Rose were denied the opportunity to earn promotion via the play-offs after failing to secure the necessary licence.
Heart of Midlothian decided against retaining a B team in the league as a guest team and instead opted to focus on cooperation agreements with other clubs.
Lowland League East
Defending champions Linlithgow Rose were placed into Lowland League East alongside existing Lowland League sides Berwick Rangers, Bo'ness United, Bonnyrigg Rose, Broxburn Athletic, Civil Service Strollers, Cowdenbeath, East Stirlingshire, Gala Fairydean Rovers, Tranent and University of Stirling. Brechin City transferred to the league from the Highland League. Hill of Beath Hawthorn, Musselburgh Athletic and Dunipace were promoted from the East of Scotland League and Lochee United were promoted from the Midlands League.
