York United FC Academy is the youth academy and development system of Canadian Premier League club York United FC, which competes in the League1 Ontario Championship.

History

Prior to founding

In September 2022, the club had announced a partnership with the United Football Academy (the relationship no longer exists as of 2023). In 2023, the club announced a partnership with League1 Ontario club Alliance United FC, allowing York to send down players to Alliance to play in some matches with the club.

Launch

In November 2024, it was announced that York United FC acquired a license to enter a club in the League1 Ontario Championship, the second tier of League1 Ontario, a Division 3 league in the Canadian soccer league system. The team's roster will consist of amateur U20 players, along with a maximum of three domestic U23 players, and per league rules the team will be allowed to have up to three first team players loaned to the team's roster for matches. The team will play its home matches at York Lions Stadium, the same venue as the first team, with the matches occurring on the same day, resulting in double-headers of matches.
