Format and changes

After the 2021 season format was adjusted into a shorter-season form with some teams opting out due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[1] the league will return to a single table format with all clubs for the 2022 season.[2] With the league set to split into a multi-division format with promotion-relegation beginning in 2024, the points obtained in this season will contribute to the original placement of clubs in 2024, with the points from the 2022 season (weighted at 75%) being added to the points teams obtain in the 2023 season (weighted at 100%) to determine the placements.[3]

The top-six teams in the regular season will qualify of the playoffs with the top-two teams receiving first round byes. The semifinals will be held on July 30 and 31 with the final scheduled for August 6.[4] The league champion will qualify for the Women's Interprovincial Championship which will be held in Laval, Quebec in August 2022.[5]

Clubs

The women's division has grown to 20 teams through expansion. Burlington SC, Electric City FC, Simcoe County Rovers, St. Catharines Roma Wolves, and the Canada Soccer National Development Centre Ontario join the league as expansion franchises,[6][7][8][9][10] ProStars FC returns as a new club as well having previously competed for one season in 2015.[11] Guelph Union and Waterloo United will make 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.[1]
