The new campaign will begin on Saturday, August 21, after clubs agreed on the date.

All 12 teams who have taken part in the campaign, including Ross clubs Alness United, Invergordon and St Duthus, have confirmed they will be taking part next season.

Sutherland outfit Bunillidh Thistle have confirmed they will not be returning next season, citing flooding damage to Bunillidh Sports Club in Helmsdale, which helps finance the team, as one of the main reasons.

However, they hope to return to the league eventually, and will retain membership of the league for at least next season.

It has also been confirmed two cup competitions will take place next season, which will be drawn on Thursday, June 10.
