The Football Queensland Premier League – Metro is a Queensland soccer league that was founded in 2021 and administered by Football Queensland Metro. It consists of four divisions; Division 3, Division 4, Division 5 and Division 6 in connection with the Football Queensland Premier League's first and second divisions run by Football Queensland.

The league premiers earn automatic promotion to the next tier up; with Division 3 clubs gaining promotion to the Queensland Premier League (the third-tier league in Queensland from season 2020 onwards), while the second place team participates in a playoff series with the other south east Queensland conference premiers for the second promotion spot. The bottom two teams at the end of the season are relegated to the next tier in Brisbane.

History

In August 2021, Football Queensland confirmed that the Brisbane Premier League and Capital League would be replaced by a newly formatted league for all Brisbane divisions run by Football Brisbane (now named Football Queensland Metro).
