The eight founding clubs in the new OFC Pro League are nearing the deadline to complete signings for their squads to play in the opening round of matches in mid-January.
The clubs must submit their first team squad lists for the opening round to OFC by 5pm (NZT) on Tuesday December 23, 2025, providing players have been registered no later than Monday December 22, 2025.
Team lists need to have at least 20 players, including three goalkeepers, and a maximum of 23 players.
The league gets underway on Saturday January 17, 2026.
Participating clubs have been signing players in readiness for the opening round of 12 games to be played at Eden Park and Albany’s North Harbour Stadium.
To play in the competition after completion of Round 1, players must be signed by clubs no later than January 21, 2026 (NZT).
OFC Pro League rules say players can only turn out for one club in the competition during the season.
