The 2019-20 ECNL Boys season saw yet another growth spurt for the league, increasing to 90 total member clubs across eight conferences, including the formation of a brand new Northwest Conference. Competition within the ECNL Boys also grew, including the Under-13 age group in official ECNL Boys league structure and launching the Conference Selection Program (CSP) and SuperCup player identification platforms. The ECNL Boys was set to offer four National Events during the 2019-20 season: Las Vegas, Florida, Greer, and Pennsylvania. Additionally, the league facilitated two National Events for the U13 & U14 ages, with the first built into its Last Vegas National Event and the second scheduled in Richmond, VA in early May 2020. The ENPL Playoffs and Finals, both managed by US Club Soccer, were to be held at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. The season was suspended and eventually cancelled due to COVID-19.
