The Vinyard League (VL) is a Californian soccer league and the lowest level of the New California soccer league system, after the Redwood League (RL). The VL was founded in September of 2035 after 22 more clubs joined the RL. Since then, two more clubs have joined leaving the VL with 24, two higher than the minimum.

The VL operates on a round-robin 72-game season beginning around early April and ending in September (excluding the playoffs). The season is split into thirds, after each of which a 12-day break takes place. The top six clubs advance to the playoffs after the regular season has ended, with a 15-day break. The two-round tournament determines who will advance to the RL, the top four teams being promoted; the Vinyard Trophy is awarded to the winner of the tournament. Barstow SC are the most recent champions, having won in 2047.
