RICHMOND, Va. (May 20, 2026) - The ECNL is proud to announce the league has expanded its relationship with Hudl to provide Hudl Wyscout for league matches, providing clubs with professional-level data and video breakdowns beginning in the 2026-27 season. With this partnership, the ECNL becomes the first American youth soccer league with access to thousands of collegiate and professional scouts from around the world, including the English Premier League, Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A, NCAA Division I men's and women's programs and many more.
Next season, ECNL games within the ECNL League Video Exchange (U15-U18/19) will be broken down in Hudl Wyscout with each athlete individually tagged automatically by the program — putting these athletes' game video and data into a permanent, searchable record that clubs can use to enhance player development, and college and pro scouts can find and use in their scouting efforts. ECNL members with Hudl club packages will get access to Wyscout's advanced video and data at no extra cost.
"This incredible new service to provide Hudl Wyscout data and analytics for the players in our league is part of fulfilling our mission to provide the best youth sports experience in the world," said ECNL President Christian Lavers. "Bringing Hudl Wyscout to our clubs isn't a feature update, it's a statement that ECNL players deserve the same scouting infrastructure that college and professional players have had for years. If you're good enough to compete in the ECNL, you're good enough to be on the radar of every college and pro team using Hudl Wyscout."
Hudl's Wyscout integration continues a partnership with the ECNL that began in 2021 and has reached nearly every aspect of ECNL competition: game capture and livestreaming national events, the expansion of the ECNL League Video Exchange throughout the years, Hudl+ Assist, ECNL In Action monthly highlight reels, and more. Hudl Wyscout will be available in ECNL Boys and ECNL Girls competition in the U15-U18/19 age groups, allowing all clubs to have equal access to game film.
"The digital gap between where the best American youth players compete and where college coaches actually discover talent for recruits has been closed," said Hudl President Matt Mueller. "ECNL players on Hudl Wyscout are part of that critical conversation now."
