Melbourne Victory is the only team in Victoria to compete in the national A-League.

Many clubs represented Victoria and in particular Melbourne in the now defunct National Soccer League (NSL), three of which, South Melbourne FC, Melbourne Knights and Brunswick Juventus became champions. Along with South Melbourne, Heidelberg United, Footscray JUST and Mooroolbark United were NSL foundation clubs. At one time or another the following Victorian sides also competed in the NSL clubs: Preston Lions FC; Carlton SC; Gippsland Falcons (also known as Eastern Pride); Collingwood Warriors; Sunshine George Cross; and Green Gully.

The highest state based league is the Victorian Premier League known, in 2007, as The Foxtel Cup. The league below that is the Victorian State League Division 1. Below that, State Leagues 2 and 3 are split into North/West and South/East divisions. Below that, three divisions of the Provisional Leagues follow, also split into North/West and South/East divisions. The participating clubs are almost entirely located within metropolitan Melbourne.
