The 2017 Women's League1 Ontario season is the third season of play for League1 Ontario, a Division 3 semi-professional soccer league in the Canadian soccer pyramid and the highest level of soccer based in the Canadian province of Ontario.

For the first time, the league expanded to include teams in the nation's capital, Ottawa, allowing it to span from the western to eastern borders of southern Ontario.

Changes from 2016

The women's division grew from nine to eleven teams, with the addition of Toronto Azzurri Blizzard, Unionville Milliken SC, and the West Ottawa Soccer Club, while the Kingston Clippers women's side did not return for play.

Cup

The cup tournament is a separate contest from the rest of the season, in which all eleven teams from the women's division take part. It is not a form of playoffs at the end of the season (as is typically seen in North American sports), but is more like the Canadian Championship or the FA Cup, albeit only for League1 Ontario teams. All matches are separate from the regular season and are not reflected in the season standings.

The cup tournament for the women's division is a single-match knockout tournament with four total rounds culminating in a final match in the start of August, with initial matchups determined by random draw. Each match in the tournament must return a result; any match drawn after 90 minutes will advance directly to kicks from the penalty mark instead of extra time.[1]
