The 2024 Men's League1 Ontario season will be the tenth of League1 Ontario, a Division 3 men's soccer league in the Canadian soccer pyramid and the highest level of soccer based in the Canadian province of Ontario. Starting from this season, the league will split into three divisions with promotion and relegation between them.[1][2]

The Premier division will be composed by 12 clubs, the Championship division by 10 clubs, all returning from last season. The League2 Ontario will be made up by three conferences containing reserve teams and newly licensed clubs.[3]

2025 →

League1 Ontario Premier will be composed by 12 teams, all coming back from the 2023 League1 Ontario season. Those clubs have qualified to the Premier division by finishing in the top half of the combined standings of the previous two seasons, with the exception of the Electric City FC, which have folded, being then replaced by the Woodbridge Strikers SC.[4][5]

The 12 teams will face each other twice, once at home and once away and the club at the top of the standings will be crowned as League1 Ontario champions and gain a berth for the 2025 Canadian Championship. The last placed team will be automatically relegated, while the 11th placed club will play a play-off game against the 2nd placed club of the Championship to stay in the league.[3]

League1 Ontario Championship is composed of 10 teams, 9 of those returning from the 2023 League1 Ontario season, while the final one has yet to be confirmed. Those clubs have qualified for the Championship division by finishing in the bottom half of the combined standings of the previous two seasons of League1 Ontario.

The 10 teams will face each other twice, once at home and once away for a total of 18 games. The club at the top of the standings will be crowned as Championship division winners and will be promoted to the 2025 League1 Ontario Premier. The 2nd ranked team in the standings will face the 11th placed team in the Premier division to gain promotion into the top division for the next season. The team last in the standings will face the winner of the League2 Ontario play-offs winner to stay in the league. There will not be direct relegation to League2 Ontario for the 2024 season because the Championship division will expand to 12 teams in 2025.[3]

U20 Reserve Division

The league will continue to operate a reserve division (however, unlike previous years where there were both U19 and U21 divisions, there will be a single U20 division). The reserve division will be split into regional conferences. It is not part of the regular pyramid and teams are not eligible for promotion.[3]
