About the data

Where it comes from

MLS NEXT Homegrown and Academy standings and schedules come from the public MLS NEXT feeds. ECNL Boys and ECNL Girls conference standings, schedules and published rosters come from the public ECNL pages. Champions Cup, showcases and regional leagues are not included yet.

Official league pages stay authoritative: MLS NEXT standings, ECNL Boys and ECNL Girls.

How often it updates

A collector checks both leagues about every four hours and keeps the last good copy if a source is down. Every table shows when it was last updated. Standings and schedules can update on different days, so a score may appear before the table moves.

Arrows beside a place show movement since the previous weekly snapshot.

How to read the standings

Each conference has its own table, and that table is the page to open for a search like “ECNL Boys U15 Northeast standings.” Place is the order in that conference. Matches is games played. Two teams on the same table may not have played the same number, so a points total can reflect extra games.

Where the league publishes points, a win is 3 and a tie is 1. An arrow next to a place is the change since the previous weekly snapshot. Open a club name for that team’s schedule, results and field.

These addresses stay on the current season. The season name and the last update time are on the page. If a record or points total isn’t published, the page leaves it blank instead of filling in zero.

Official places and calculated comparisons

On U15 and older tables, place is the order the league publishes. Sorting a table changes the order on screen, never that official place.

MLS NEXT ranks U13 and U14 on Quality of Play: an attack score, a defense score, and an overall score, adjusted for the opponent. Those scores are defined in the public standings feed. Until a score is published for a conference, this site counts wins, losses and ties from published scores in that competition, with 3 points for a win and 1 for a tie, and orders the table by points per game. That table is labeled “From scores.”

When a Quality of Play score appears, that conference switches to the official place. The win-loss line stays on the table as a count of published scores.

National rankings are a separate comparison across conferences. They are not a league table. How the rating works.

National rankings

Rankings compare one age and one level across every conference. A team needs 3 games to get a national place. The rating is 70% points per game, 20% the average points per game of opponents already played, and 10% goal difference per game, capped at ±1.5. Arrows show movement versus the ranking from seven days earlier.

Once MLS NEXT publishes Quality of Play for a U13 or U14 age, that national list follows the published score instead of the points rating.

Tournaments

Tournament games come from the public MLS NEXT event schedules: MLS NEXT Fest, Generation adidas Cup, MLS NEXT Flex and MLS NEXT Cup. Kickoffs are local to the venue. Tournament listings don’t carry team IDs, so games are matched to club pages by club name, and some visiting or all-star sides won’t match. ECNL national events aren’t included yet.

Kickoff times

MLS NEXT kickoffs are shown in your own timezone. ECNL publishes clock times without a timezone; when a conference sits inside one timezone (for example Texas or New England) the zone is shown and calendar exports use it. For conferences that cross zones, the time is shown exactly as published. Midnight ECNL entries mean the kickoff wasn’t posted, so they become all-day calendar entries.

Each team page has a calendar feed. Subscribe once and your calendar app refreshes it, so time and field changes appear without re-downloading.
