ECL '24: Spring Season Player License (One season)

Note: This license grants you access to the ECL '24: Spring season. If you already purchased the full ECL '24: Player License, you do not need to purchase the Spring license separately.

ECL '24: Spring Season Player License
The ECL '24: Spring Season Player License allows for participation in both the ECL 6v6 and 1v1 leagues for the ECL ‘24: Spring season. This license will grant you access to compete in the most prestigious and biggest competitive NHL esports league in Europe. An ECL season spans over the course of two to three months and guarantees a minimum of roughly 20 games of competition on the 6v6 side*, whereas the 1v1 season adds - at the very least - the opportunity to participate in 14 games in the Spring part of the ECL '24: 1v1 Season.
*Based on the minimum amount of games played in a starting role in the ECL '22 Spring: Core regular season.
ECL Neo will continue being available at no license fee for teams wishing to get a taste of competitive virtual hockey, whereas all other divisions are subject to a team license fee. The license is exponentially higher at higher levels of competition, given the increased spotlight and additional content around the divisions in question.

Each team can name up to 3 backup players (outside of the primary 6) that can help the team out and play up to 10 games (ECL '24: Winter + Spring total) without having to own the player license.

The Spring Season Player License can be purchased during the season if a backup wants to play more games than expected.

ECL Neo will remain free to play, with no player license required to compete, however
To uphold the integrity of ECL Neo as the beginner level, we reserve the right to deny teams to participate in cases where they are clearly above the amateur level, as it could significantly impact the experience of what ECL Neo is intended for. The ECL ‘24: Spring Player License can be purchased by an ECL Neo player if they want to participate in ECL 1v1, benefit from the additional advantages that come with the license (more on this later), or simply as a form of supporting the league.
License fees will be allocated to fund prize pools and developing operations, such as our broadcasts, live productions and promoting the league.
