OPL 1: Taking a deep dive into SFC’s 2026 schedule

March 18, 2026

The Ontario Premier League regular season starts one month today, meaning it’s time to get out your calendar and prepare to support Milton’s teams.

Highlights


  • Season kicks off April 18
  • First home game is April 25
  • Women’s Inter-Provincial Championship holders visit May 1 – SFC vs Simcoe
  • Cup Final rematch is June 13 – SFC vs Vaughan
  • Women’s season concludes with consecutive away trips in July
  • Men’s season concludes with consecutive home games in August


Men’s OPL 1: Kick-off April 18


Scrosoppi’s men will kick off their OPL title pursuit in St Catharines. The Roma Wolves players and staff always put on a show at Club Roma last season, making their den a tough place to go to pick up points.


While this opening fixture is taking place up the road from Club Roma at Kiwanis Field, the St Catharines faithful will no doubt bring the season-opening vibes and give SFC an early challenge.


An equally tough trip to Sudbury Cyclones follows – another club with a loud home support who will be aiming to hit the ground running in their first season in the OPL top flight. 


Last season’s title rivalry with Woodbridge Strikers resumes as early as Matchweek Three in 2026, with SFC visiting the reigning divisional champions. OPL debutants International FC are then SFC’s hosts in Matchweek Four – SFC’s fourth successive away match to open the new campaign.


Friday, May 15 will see Scrosoppi’s first home game as newly promoted Unionville Milliken come to St Francis Xavier in Milton. It’s followed up by SFC’s first midweek fixture in 2026, which is a trip to face North Toronto in the GTA.


Other notable fixtures include the first matchup with Patrice Gheisar’s former side Vaughan Azzurri on Saturday, June 13 in Milton. This is also the first rematch between these sides since Scrosoppi’s 3-1 cup final victory last season.


Sudbury, Woodbridge, International FC, and North Toronto all visit Scrosoppi in July as they catch up on home matches heading into the regular-season run-in.


Three consecutive matches in Milton will conclude Scrosoppi’s season in August, with Burlington, Simcoe County Rovers, and finally St Catharines scheduled to visit. 


Women’s OPL 1: Kick-off April 19


The Women’s OPL 1 season kicks off on Saturday, April 18, with all eyes on Scrosoppi and Vaughan Azzurri for the sole matchup on the Sunday.


SFC would have already taken to the field by that point, as they face Burlington in the OPL Cup First Round on April 11. The men’s team have a bye to the Second Round.


The first home game for Scrosoppi’s women is earlier than the men’s, with Saturday, April 25 set for North Mississauga’s trip to Milton. The following week Simcoe County Rovers come to town after winning last year’s OPL top flight and the Women’s Inter-Provincial Championship against Pro-Am title-holders from Alberta, BC, and Quebec.


Waterloo United are the third visitors in three consecutive matchweeks, before SFC head to North Mississauga on May 16. Woodbridge Strikers and Guelph and United then host SFC to round off the month.


There are three home games back-to-back in June with FC London, Woodbridge, and NDC Ontario all visiting, and a further three to start a jam-packed July with Guelph, Vaughan, and North Toronto all coming to Milton.


There are a total of six games scheduled for July, and Scrosoppi’s season ends with what are expected to be difficult trips to NDC Ontario, Simcoe, and North Toronto – all of whom have won OPL titles across the last two years.
