Registration is open for the 2026 season of the European Cities League. In order to reduce problems with unresponsive teams to a minimum, we ask all teams for confirmation of their participation and for an update of their team representatives. Please confirm your participation in the ECL 2026 by posting two team representatives in the thread below (and a link to the team homepage if your team is new to the ECL). -- Observe:
Registration will remain open until October 19th. We will try to accommodate teams that register after this date, but this cannot be warranted.
Team representatives need to be accessible for communication. In the settings, "Send and Receive Messages" must be set to "All members".
The allocation of teams to divisions below is preliminary (based on the live standings of September 11th). The final composition of the divisions will be determined by the ranking at the cut-off on October, 19th.
Minimum team sizes are 15 (Div. 1), 12 (Div. 2), 9 (Div. 3), 7 (Div. 4), 5 (Div. 5). If you doubt whether your team can reach this size, withdrawal to a lower division might be an option.
The first round of the ECL 2026 will be announced on November, 2nd and start on November, 16th.
Rules will follow WCL rules. See Appendix F for specific ECL rules.
If you are not registered in the World Cities League, let's check this forum with ongoing registration. WCL matches can be counted into ECL if both teams play in the same division in both competitions.
