2026 Tournament Host Applications Now Open
The Ontario Lacrosse Association is pleased to announce that applications to host 2026 OLA Invitational Tournaments will be accepted from November 1 to November 30, 2025. All clubs interested in hosting next season’s events are encouraged to submit their materials early to ensure consideration.
Important Dates & Deadlines
Application window: November 1–30, 2025
Hosting fees due: November 30, 2025
Host notifications sent: On or before January 16, 2026
All payments must be received before the application deadline to be considered complete. Payment may be submitted by cheque, e-transfer to fiona@ontariolacrosse.com, or Peloton.
How Tournament Hosts Will Be Announced
To support clubs in launching successful events, the OLA will publish approved tournament hosts in a staggered format:
Week of February 2, 2026: A/B qualifier divisions
Following the SAGM: All remaining tournaments
This staggered approach allows clubs additional time to:
Open registration
Determine team numbers
Confirm venue requirements
Establish early revenue planning
Secure fair access to available tournament dates and spaces
Approved hosts may not advertise, publish, or accept team entries until the OLA releases the official tournament list. This ensures a fair and organized rollout across all divisions and clubs.
Any host club found to be promoting or accepting teams before the permitted release dates risks having their tournament reduced or removed from the approved list.
