===Preseason and regular season===

The OHL has three phases to a season: the pre-season (which lasts from late August to early September), the regular season (lasts from early September to late March), and the postseason (the [[Watson Cup Playoffs]], which begins in early April). Before the season starts, teams usually host training camps and summer showcases, which allow their newer prospects to prove themselves, along with non-league sanctioned prospect tournaments. Afterwards, the preseason begins, and typically coincides with the [[Levantine Hockey League|LHL’s]] preseason. All 32 OHL clubs play a first 2 exhibition matches against an LHL team of their choice, in a home-and-home match. Then, the clubs return to South Crona and play exhibition matches against other clubs in their respective division.

During the regular season, the schedule goes as follows since 2016: all teams play 82 games, with 41 at home and 41 on the road, 26 in their own geographical division, 24 against the members of the other division in their conference, and 32 against members of the other conference. The regular season standings of the OHL is based on the following points system: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 for a loss. The teams that finish with the most points in each division are awarded the title for their division. The [[Woqali’s Trophy]] is awarded to the team with the most regular season points.

===Playoffs===

The Watson Cup playoffs, which go from April to the beginning of June, are an elimination tournament where two teams play against each other to win a best-of-seven series in order to advance to the next round. The final remaining team is crowned the Watson Cup champion. Eight teams from each conference qualify for the playoffs: the top three teams in each division plus the two conference teams with the next highest number of points. The two conference champions proceed to the Watson Cup Finals. In all rounds, the higher-ranked team is awarded home-ice advantage, with four of the seven games played at this team's home venue. In the Watson Cup Finals, the team with the most points during the regular season has home-ice advantage.
