History

League1 Ontario was founded as a men's semi-professional league on November 15, 2013, in an announcement by the Ontario Soccer Association (OSA).{{cite web |url=http://www.ontariosoccer.ca/OSABlog/index.php/archives/9550 |title=OSA to pilot semi-pro League1 Ontario in 2014–2015 |publisher=Ontario Soccer Association |date=November 15, 2013 |access-date=April 13, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706062605/http://www.ontariosoccer.ca/OSABlog/index.php/archives/9550 |archive-date=July 6, 2014 |url-status=dead }}

In January 2015, L1O announced the launch of a women's division.{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/601810|title=League1 And OSA Announce 2015 Women's Division|date=January 28, 2015|work=League1 Ontario}} Initially, six teams (ANB Futbol, Durham United FC, North Mississauga SC, ProStars FC, Sanjaxx Lions and Vaughan Azzurri) were to compete, but a seventh team (Woodbridge Strikers) was soon added ahead of the inaugural season.{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/601792|title=Seventh League1 Ontario Women's Team Added For 2015|date=March 26, 2015|work=League1 Ontario}} The league kicked off their first matches on May 23 with all seven teams playing matches at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton (Ottawa Fury FC Academy also fielded a team for an exhibition match to make an even number so that every team could play).{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/601732|title=Semi-professional women's soccer set to take Ontario by storm|date=May 13, 2015|work=League1 Ontario}} Durham United FC defeated North Mississauga SC by a score of 2–0 in the league's first official match.{{Cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/601626|title=Durham United F.C. 2 - North Mississauga Panthers 0|date=May 24, 2015|work=League1 Ontario}} Durham United were the inaugural league champions.{{cite web|url=https://www.ontariosoccer.net/news_article/show/745899-durham-united-f-c-and-oakville-blue-devils-clinch-league1-ontario-titles|date=October 6, 2015|title=Durham United F.C. and Oakville Blue Devils Clinch League1 Ontario Titles|work=Ontario Soccer Association}}, while North Mississauga won the first League Cup title.{{cite web|url=https://www.ontariosoccer.net/news_article/show/746017-north-mississauga-capture-league1-ontario-women-s-l1o-cup|date=August 9, 2015|work=League1 Ontario|title=North Mississauga Capture League1 Ontario Women's L1O Cup}}

For the 2016 season, the division grew to nine teams with the addition of four teams, while two clubs departed.{{cite web|title=League1 Ontario Announces Eight New Teams For Upcoming Season|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/598745|publisher=League1 Ontario|date=December 17, 2015}} The league grew to 11 teams in 2017, with three new additions and one departure.{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/735737|title=League1 Ontario Continues To Grow Across Ontario|date=December 19, 2016|work=League1 Ontario}} In 2018, the league grew to 13 teams and the league introduced a playoff format for the first time to declare the league champion.{{Cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/897189|title=2018 League1 Ontario Season To Feature New Format, Divisional Configuration And Several Exciting New Additions|date=March 14, 2018|work=League1 Ontario}} For the 2019 season, the league eliminated the League Cup competition.{{Cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/1003860|date=March 13, 2019|work=League1 Ontario|title=League1 Ontario Kicks Off A Sixth Season With Early May Openers}}

Beginning in the 2020 season, League1 Ontario and the Première ligue de soccer du Québec had planned to hold a Final Four end-of-season tournament for their women's divisions, from August 14 to 16, pitting the top two sides from each league in an inter-provincial playoff.{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/1092771|title=2020 L1O schedule: Condensed seasons & revamped championships for men's, women's|date=March 5, 2020|work=League1 Ontario}} Also, the league had planned to introduce a Reserve Division for the women for the first time. However, due to restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the league cancelled the 2020 season{{Cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/1108174|title=League1 Ontario's 2020 'Summer season' cancelled, officials target Fall start|first=Marty|last=Thompson|date=June 6, 2020|work=League1 Ontario}}{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/1121077|title=League1 Ontario cancels 'Fall season' plans for 2020|first=Marty|last=Thompson|date=September 4, 2020|work=League1 Ontario}} and delayed the start of the 2021 season.{{cite web |title=League1 Ontario 2021 season now slated to start July 29th |url=https://canpl.ca/article/league1-ontario-2021-season-now-slated-to-start-july-29th |website=Canadian Premier League |access-date=January 21, 2022 |date=June 15, 2021}} Due to the delayed start caused by the pandemic, some clubs were unable to field team's in the main division. Consequently, the league also formed a short-season summer division, with teams opting to either play in the full-season Premier division, the short-season Champion, and/or the Reserve division.{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/1175395|title=League1 Ontario Set To Kick Off Seventh Season With Late July Fixtures|date=July 22, 2021|work=League1 Ontario}}

On January 25, 2022, League1 Ontario announced a major restructuring of the men's and women's competitions which took effect in 2024.{{cite web |title=League1 Ontario reveals league pyramid, pro/rel system for 2024 season |url=https://canpl.ca/article/league1-ontario-reveals-league-pyramid-prorel-system-for-2024-season |website=Canadian Premier League |access-date=January 26, 2022 |date=January 25, 2022}} The league was split into three tiers (Premier, Championship, and League2) with promotion and relegation between the tiers.{{cite web |last1=Jacques |first1=John |title=Seven Things To Know About The League1 Ontario Restructure |url=https://northerntribune.ca/league1-ontario-promotion-relegation-facts/ |website=Northern Tribune |access-date=January 26, 2022 |date=January 25, 2022}} From this point onward, expansion clubs enter at the League2 level and have to win to earn promotion to the Championship and then Premier divisions. Also in 2024 was the return of the L1 Cup, a league cup knockout tournament which features teams from all three tiers in the L1O system.

=Management=

In September 2019, former Canadian national team player Carmelina Moscato was announced as Commissioner of the Women's division (prior to this both the male and female divisions were led by Dino Rossi),{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/1048608|title=CSB hires Carmelina Moscato as Manager, Women's Professional Football Development, League1 Women's Division Commissioner|work=League1 Ontario|date=September 12, 2019}} however she departed in December 2020{{cite web|url=https://northerntribune.ca/league1-ontario-carmelina-moscato/|date=December 17, 2020|work=Northern Tribune|title=Carmelina Moscato Steps Down As League1 Ontario Women's Commissioner|first=John|last=Jacques}} to become the Director of Women's Football for the Bahamas Football Association.{{cite web|url=https://northerntribune.ca/bahamas-football-association-carmelina-moscato/|title=Bahamas Football Association Adds Carmelina Moscato As Director Of Women's Football|date=February 12, 2021|work=Northern Tribune|first=John|last=Jacques}} In March 2021, Chelsea Spencer and Julie Maheu were announced as Director and Operations Manager, respectively, for the league.{{cite web|url=https://canpl.ca/article/league1-ontario-unveils-womens-division-leadership|title=League1 Ontario unveils Women's Division leadership|date=March 8, 2021|work=Canadian Premier League|first=Marty|last=Thompson}}

Competition format

The League1 Ontario regular season runs from May through September using a single table format, with each team playing one match against all other teams. The top four teams compete in the league playoffs at the end of the season.{{cite web|title=2018 League1 Ontario Season To Feature New Format, Divisional Configuration And Several Exciting New Additions|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/897189?referrer_id=2309049|publisher=League1 Ontario|access-date=March 14, 2018}}

Beginning in 2019, the Ron Smale Cup was created by the supporters group of North Mississauga SC to be given to the regular season champions.{{cite web|url=https://www.league1ontario.com/news_article/show/1048887|title=Supporters Like No Others|date=September 13, 2019|work=League1 Ontario}}

=L1 Cup=

The L1 Cup is a league cup tournament that features all L1O clubs.{{cite web|title=Womens L1 Cup |url=http://www.league1ontario.com/page/show/2497239-womens-l1-cup-2016- |website=League1 Ontario |access-date=April 8, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220205424/http://www.league1ontario.com/page/show/2497239-womens-l1-cup-2016- |archive-date=December 20, 2016}} It runs concurrently with the regular season, with cup games usually taking place during mid-week. It is not a form of playoffs and all matches are separate from the regular season and are not reflected in the season standings. The 2015 cup included a group stage and a knockout stage but from 2016 to 2018 the format was a single-elimination tournament. Following a hiatus from 2019 to 2023, the L1 Cup will return in 2024 to coincide with the league's restructuring.
