The 2024 League1 British Columbia season is the third season of play for League1 British Columbia, a pro-am league in the Canadian soccer league system. Seven clubs will participate in both the men's and women's divisions.
Changes from 2023
[edit]Burnaby FC joined the league as a new expansion club in both the men's and women's divisions.[1][2] However, both Nautsa’mawt FC and Victoria Highlanders FC departed the league, bringing the league down to seven clubs.[3][4] In addition, the Highlanders vacated their spot in the 2024 Canadian Championship, being replaced by TSS FC Rovers.[5]
Men's division
[edit]The teams played each other team twice (home and away) for a 12-game season, with the top four teams advancing to the playoffs. The winner of the regular season will qualify for the 2025 Canadian Championship.
