During the close season six clubs have withdrawn, Renishaw Rangers, Cutthorpe CC, Midland First, North Wingfield WMC, Hasland CFC 2nd and AFC Castle whilst five clubs have joined the league, Royal Oak Whitwell, Bolsover Town Reserves, Walkers Wanderers, Derbyshire Peaks and John Pye Chesterfield.

The first three of the new clubs will play in HKL SIX whilst the other two start life in HKL FOUR. Along with the departures and new arrivals several clubs have been re-branded.
