Format and changes

edit

The league returned to a single table format for the 2022 season with each team playing 21 games,[1] following the 2021 season which was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The regular season ran for 18 weeks between April 21 and August 21 (one postponed match was later played on August 27). The top six teams qualified for the playoffs with the top two getting first round byes. The quarterfinals were held on August 24–25, the semifinals on August 27–28, and the championship final on September 3, which is Labour Day weekend.[1]

With the league set to split into a multi-division format with promotion and relegation beginning in 2024, the points obtained in this season contribute to the assignment of clubs in 2024. The points from the 2022 season (weighted at 75%) will be added to the points teams obtain in the 2023 season (weighted at 100%) to determine the placements.[3]

Clubs

edit

The men's division grew to 22 teams through expansion. Burlington SC,[4] Electric City FC and Simcoe County Rovers joined the league as expansion teams,[5][6] Pickering FC returned from hiatus and played their first season under their new name, having re-branded after the 2019 season,[7] while Toronto Skillz FC has left the league.[8] Hamilton United, St. Catharines Roma Wolves, and BVB IA Waterloo (formerly Waterloo United) made their official Premier Division debuts, after having opted out of the main division last season, having fielded teams in either the short-season Summer Championship or Reserve divisions instead.[2] 1812 FC Barrie departed the league after playing in the Premier Division last year,[4] as well as Toronto Skillz FC who played in the 2021 L1O Summer Championship and Aurora FC who were on hiatus and joined the Simcoe County Rovers group, also officially departed.[5][6]
