About the Ontario Premier League (OPL)
The Burlington Soccer Club launched their foray into the Ontario Premier League (formerly League 1 Ontario) in 2022 with the purchase of the licensing agreement from an alternate club. The first season in the league, BSC featured a Men’s Premier and Reserve side, in addition to a Women’s Premier side. With the start of the 2025 season, the club will have six (6) teams participating in the league: OPL1 (Men’s, formerly Premier); OPL2 (Women’s, formerly Championship); OPL3 (Men’s & Women’s, formerly league 2); OPL U20 (Men’s & Women’s).
The Ontario Premier League (OPL) is the province’s first Pro-Am, standards based, senior soccer league for both men & women. OPL launched in 2014 and BSC is fortunate to be one of a few clubs that offers this program within the Halton Region. The program completes our Player Pathway for all Bayhawks and serves as a bridge program between youth high performance (OPDL) and Professional soccer.
