Prairies Premier League (PPL) is a semi-professional men's and women's soccer league in the Canadian Prairies, featuring teams from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northern Ontario. The league is sanctioned by the Canadian Soccer Association, the Manitoba Soccer Association, and the Saskatchewan Soccer Association as a third division pro–am league in the Canadian soccer league system.
In the Canadian soccer league system, the men's division is below the Canadian Premier League (CPL). It is part of Premier Soccer Leagues Canada, the national third tier with regional divisions, with the PPL equivalent to the Ontario Premier League (OPL), the Alberta Premier League (APL), and the British Columbia Premier League (BCPL). The men's league champion qualifies for the Canadian Championship, the domestic cup championship, while the women's league champion qualifies for the Premier Soccer Leagues Women's Inter-Provincial Championship.[1]
