The 2025 Ligue1 Québec season is the fourteenth season of play for the Ligue1 Québec (and the third since rebranding from the Première ligue de soccer du Québec). It is the first season with multiple tiered divisions, with Ligue2 Québec and Ligue3 Québec being introduced this season. L1Q is a division three semi-professional soccer league in the Canadian soccer league system and the highest level of soccer based in the Canadian province of Québec.
FC Laval will compete in the 2025 Canadian Championship as the league's representative as 2024 league champions.
Changes from 2024
CF Montréal U23 withdrew from the league after the 2024 season. Two new tiered divisions were formed following the dissolution of the amateur Ligue de soccer élite du Québec.
Format
In Ligue1 Québec, the ten teams will play each other twice, home and away. There will be no relegation at the end of the season. The winner will qualify for the 2026 Canadian Championship.
In Ligue2 Québec, the 24 teams will play each other each once. At the end of the season, the top team will be promoted to Ligue1 Québec for the 2026 season, while the teams finishing second through fifth will participate in a promotion playoff for the second promotion spot. The clubs finishing 15th through 24th will be relegated to Ligue3 Québec.
In Ligue3 Québec, 16 teams (including 4 reserve sides) will each play each other once. The top four teams will compete for the league title in a playoff, however, there will be no promotion for this season.
