# 2024 Ligue1 Québec season

The 2024 Ligue1 Québec season is the thirteenth season of play for the Ligue1 Québec (and the second since rebranding from the Première ligue de soccer du Québec). L1Q is a division three semi-professional soccer league in the Canadian soccer league system and the highest level of soccer based in the Canadian province of Québec.
CS St-Laurent competed in the 2024 Canadian Championship as the league's representative as 2023 league champions.

## Changes from 2023

CS Lanaudière-Nord withdrew from the league after the 2023 season. The Coupe L1Q will once again occur after the season, however, only the top eight clubs from the regular season will participate, rather than all clubs in the league like the previous season.

## Main Division
### Teams
