Pro Qualifier Wildcard procedure has been updated
- Anyone can now apply to play in the ECL '26: Spring - Pro Qualifiers by checking the appropriate box during season registration.
- While the Wildcard restrictions have been lifted and there are no absolute requirements for applying, League Administration will still review Qualifier Applications (identified by PRO QUAL REQ on the registered teams page). As such, teams with more experience still have a better chance of making the cut and playing in the Qualifiers. All teams will be notified once the decisions have been made.
- To be properly evaluated for the Qualifier spot, please have your full roster in your SportsGamer ECL '26: Spring roster as early as possible.
-
The number of available Wildcard spots may vary depending on the quality of the applications.
What if all Pro Qualifier positions are not filled?
-
Teams will not be promoted straight, and all open spots will be filled through qualifiers (excluding automatically relegated/promoted teams). If there happen to be more open spots than anticipated (e.g., from teams disbanding, which would have been invited to play in the qualifier), spots are filled as follows:
- Pro relegated teams
- Wildcard teams
- Lite #17-32

All teams without an Elite, Pro, or Lite league spot can participate and choose to apply for ECL Lite without restrictions. There will be no ECL Lite qualifier for ECL '26: Spring, but a maximum of 64 teams can participate in the season, so signing up on time is encouraged. Spots will be filled in the order of registration.
As always, League Administration will monitor sign-ups and reserve the right to step in to make sure teams don't sign up too high or low compared to their perceived skill level.
