The 1v1 section of ECL gathers all the best European NHL 23 Players for a tournament where the prize is the European Championship title and the largest split of the 2500 EUR prize pool. The tournament will be played as a group stage, out of which the top 128 players will be making the playoffs. You can sign up for ECL 1v1 until the 9th of May, 2023. Participation requires the purchase of an ECL '23 Player License.

ECL '23 Spring 6v6

6v6 is what the ECL has built it's prestige on, and with close to 200 teams currently signed up, we've got all participating teams in a divisional framework across five different skill levels, with Neo and Core being the entry levels. In order to sign up, you'll need an NHL 23 EASHL club with a minimum of 8 members on either PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S. You can sign up for ECL 6v6 until the 20th of April, 2023.

How do I join?

First off, make sure you create an account at SportsGamer.gg. Once you're signed in, make sure you update your Player card by clicking your gamertag in the top right hand corner and selecting "edit player". Make sure the player name matches the one you use in game. If you only intend to play 1v1, you'll still need to create your player card, but the information isn't as crucial.

Once you've got your account on SportsGamer.GG set up, you are ready to sign up! For ECL 1v1, all players sign up individually, but on the 6v6 side, only the team captain needs to register the team, after which they can invite all team members to the roster.
