League2 Ontario clubs will be divided in regional conferences. Those clubs will be either the "B" team of Premier and Championship clubs or newly licensed clubs. Sudbury Cyclones, Railway City FC and Cambridge United joined as new clubs.

All teams will face each other team in their conference twice, once at home and once away. The top two teams in each division will advance to the promotion playoffs, with the winner being promoted to the Championship. If the winner of the playoffs is a B team, they may decline promotion, and instead the top two A teams with the most regular-season points in the division will meet in a playoff to earn promotion.[1]
