League1 Ontario Championship is composed of ten teams, nine of those returning from the 2023 League1 Ontario season, and one (Toronto FC Academy) which joined this season. The nine returning clubs qualified for the Championship division by finishing in the bottom half of the combined standings of the previous two seasons of League1 Ontario.

The 10 teams will face each other twice, once at home and once away for a total of 18 games. The club at the top of the standings will be crowned as Championship division winners and will be promoted to the 2025 League1 Ontario Premier. The 2nd ranked team in the standings will face the 11th placed team in the Premier division to gain promotion into the top division for the next season. The team last in the standings will face the winner of the League2 Ontario playoffs winner to stay in the league. There will not be direct relegation to League2 Ontario for the 2024 season because the Championship division will expand to 12 teams in 2025.[3]
