The ECNL Regional League is an extension of the Elite Clubs National League, offering competitive conference play and a pathway to ECNL National events.

Individual clubs are members of the league, and membership is limited to ensure a high quality of play.

Boys ECNL-Regional League and Girls ECNL-Regional League operate similarly, but are designed specifically for each gender and their respective youth soccer landscapes.

ECNL Regional Leagues are operated and managed so as to ensure a consistent environment and level of professionalism across all leagues, facilitating more club connectivity between levels of play and providing a path for more players within each Member Club to reach their fullest potential.  Each league allows for coordination and collaboration between the teams of different levels within ECNL clubs, or opportunity for teams and players in other clubs to develop through regular high-level competition.
