League1 Ontario Premier will be composed of 12 teams, all coming back from the 2023 League1 Ontario season. Those clubs have qualified to the Premier division by finishing in the top half of the combined standings of the previous two seasons, with the exception of the Electric City FC, which have folded, being then replaced by the Woodbridge Strikers SC.
The 12 teams will face each other twice, once at home and once away and the club at the top of the standings will be crowned as League1 Ontario champions and gain a berth for the 2025 Canadian Championship. The last placed team will be automatically relegated, while the 11th placed club will play a playoff game against the 2nd placed club of the Championship to stay in the league.

League1 Ontario Championship is composed of ten teams, nine of those returning from the 2023 League1 Ontario season, and one (Toronto FC Academy) which joined this season. The nine returning clubs qualified for the Championship division by finishing in the bottom half of the combined standings of the previous two seasons of League1 Ontario.
The 10 teams will face each other twice, once at home and once away for a total of 18 games. The club at the top of the standings will be crowned as Championship division winners and will be promoted to the 2025 League1 Ontario Premier. The 2nd ranked team in the standings will face the 11th placed team in the Premier division to gain promotion into the top division for the next season. The team last in the standings will face the winner of the League2 Ontario playoffs winner to stay in the league. There will not be direct relegation to League2 Ontario for the 2024 season because the Championship division will expand to 12 teams in 2025.

League2 Ontario clubs will be divided in three regional conferences. Those clubs will be either the "B" team of Premier and Championship clubs or newly licensed clubs.
All teams will face each other team in their conference twice, once at home and once away. The winners of the three conferences plus the best 2nd placed team will qualify for the League2 playoffs, made up by two semi-finals and the final. The winner of the playoffs will be crowned as League2 winner and will be automatically promoted to the 2025 League1 Ontario Championship alongside the losing finalist as the Championship division will expand to 12 teams for the next season. The losing semi-finalists will play each other in the promotion playoffs and the winner will finally face the last placed club of the Championship division for the chance to replace it in the 2nd division.

The L1 Cup is a league cup tournament that was contested by teams from all three tiers of League1 Ontario. The Cup returned after a five season hiatus, having last been played in 2018.
All 25 "A" teams participated in the five-round knockout competition, which was played concurrently with the league season. Eighteen clubs entered the first round (five clubs from the Premier Division, all ten clubs from the Championship division, and the three A teams from League2), while seven clubs from the Premier Division received a bye to the round of 16.
The league will continue to operate a reserve division (however, unlike previous years where there were both U19 and U21 divisions, there will be a single U20 division). The reserve division will be split into regional conferences. It is not part of the regular pyramid and teams are not eligible for promotion.
