Lincoln, NEB. – October 21, 2025. Hudl and the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) have renewed and expanded their partnership ahead of the 2025–2026 season. This continued collaboration strengthens a shared vision to elevate the club soccer experience through an unmatched player pathway, helping to propel ECNL athletes to the next level.

ECNL is synonymous with elite performance and national showcases. Hudl’s industry-leading tools give ECNL athletes, coaches and clubs the technology to highlight talent, analyze performance and tell compelling stories across every level of the game.

“We’re proud to continue our work with the ECNL to support their mission to transform youth sports and set new standards of excellence,” said Rachel Krasnow, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Hudl. “Through this partnership, Hudl provides tools the ECNL leverages to deliver meaningful exposure and pathways to the next level for athletes, as well as bring fans closer to the game through ECNL Match Central.
