A total 56 matches will be played over the six competition dates in 2024. All eight teams move on to the OCAA championship hosted by the Conestoga Condors (Kitchener). The quarter-final match-ups will be based according to the regular season final standings (1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc.) with winners advancing to the semi-finals, then gold medal match. All championship matches will take place on Oct. 25 at the Fountain Street Soccer Complex in Cambridge.
