More About The Prairie Premier League
The Manitoba Soccer Association (MSA) and Saskatchewan Soccer Association (SSA) today announced a new licensing agreement with Canadian Soccer Business (CSB) to launch the Prairies Premier League (PPL), which will join Canada’s national system of elite pro-am soccer competitions beginning this spring.
Set to kick off in May 2026, the Prairies Premier League will represent the highest level of domestic pro-am soccer in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, providing a clearly defined competitive environment for top players, clubs, and coaches across the region. Operating within the Premier Soccer Leagues Canada (PSLC) system — part of Canadian Soccer Business’s league portfolio — the league will apply a nationally aligned pro-am model while remaining grounded in regional leadership and local soccer communities.
The launch of the Prairies Premier League coincides with a refresh across Canada’s existing system of pro-am competitions. Formerly known as League1 Canada, the system was today reintroduced as Premier Soccer Leagues Canada (PSLC), building on an already strong foundation as a credible developer of Canadian talent. This evolution reflects a broader strategy by CSB to align Canada’s domestic pathway with greater intention and clarity — both across its own league portfolio and in how the pro-am game connects with the wider professional and national soccer landscape.
The inaugural season will feature seven clubs spanning Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northern Ontario: Saskatchewan EXCEL Program, Forza Soccer Academy, QC United, FC Manitoba, Bonivital Flames, Lucania FC, and Thunder Bay Chill.
