The 2026 OFC Professional League was the inaugural season of the OFC Professional League, a men's professional football league in the Oceania region, organized by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) and features eight clubs from seven nations, competing in a circuit series format across various Pacific locations.

The league champion qualified for the 2026 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and provided a pathway to the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] apart from South Melbourne (who cannot qualify for other competitions as they are based in Australia, which is part of the Asian Football Confederation). The fixtures were released on 24 November 2025.[8]
