League1 Ontario Premier will be composed of 11 teams. FC London and St. Catharines Roma Wolves were promoted from the Championship division last season. ProStars FC dropped out of the league shortly prior to the release of the schedules and were not replaced. [1] Blue Devils FC have re-branded as Oakville SC following a merger.
The 11 teams will face each other twice, once at home and once away for a total of 20 matches. At the end of the season, the club at the top of the standings will be crowned as League1 Ontario champions and gain a berth for the 2026 Canadian Championship. The club that finishes in 10th will advance to the promotion playoffs against the third place finisher in the Championship, while the 11th placed club will be automatically relegated to the Championship division.
