Players are as a rule only paid expenses, and attendance at league games is usually under a hundred unless AFC Wimbledon are playing.

League champions are eligible for promotion to the Ryman Isthmian League, if their stadium facilities and arrangements are deemed adequate; if the champion does not qualify, the runner-up may be offered for election to the higher league. However, 2001/2002 champions AFC Wallingford did not qualify, and they were the runners-up to 2002/2003 champions Withdean 2000, who also did not qualify, so no team was promoted in either year. If AFC Wimbledon maintains its current position atop the CCL, it will almost certainly earn promotion, since its ground meets current Nationwide Conference standards.

There are 24 teams in the Premier Division. The old Surrey Senior League became the CCL's First Division in 2003. The Select Appointments Surrey County Senior League and RSR Tyres Middlesex County League are beneath the CCL on the football pyramid.

There are also league cups, ranging from the Premier Challenge Cup to one for reserve teams of first-division clubs.
