OFC 2026 Competition Calendar Confirmed

OFC is pleased to confirm its full competition schedule for tournaments (excluding the OFC Pro League) in 2026.

The OFC Women’s Champions League will feature 10 of our 11 OFC Member Associations, signalling a major milestone for women’s football in Oceania. The qualifying tournament will be staged in Cook Islands, while the Championship will return to the Solomon Islands, which last hosted the tournament in 2024.

On the men’s side, Fiji will host the OFC Men’s Champions League, continuing its long-standing tradition of delivering top-tier regional football.

Meanwhile, the OFC Beach Soccer Nations Cup returns to Tahiti, the powerhouse nation that has appeared in two FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup finals.

Across the age-grade pathway, tournaments will be spread throughout the Pacific, reflecting OFC’s commitment to accessibility and regional development.

Cook Islands and Tonga will host key qualification events, while Papua New Guinea (Men’s) and the Solomon Islands (Women’s) will host the OFC U-16 Championships respectively.

Samoa, which opens the year with the OFC Men’s Champions League 2026 - Qualifying in late January, will also host the OFC U-19 Men’s Championship in September.

OFC’s dedication to player development is further highlighted through its partnership with UEFA Together, under which for the first time both a Boys and Girls U-15 Development Tournament will be held in the same year.

The Girls’ Tournament will take place in Fiji in May, followed by the Boys’ Tournament in New Zealand in October, giving young talent across Oceania unprecedented exposure and development opportunities.
