Pride SC Copa Girls teams in the U13-U18/19 age groups will compete in the National 1 League for the 2026-2027 season. This will be in addition to playing in the regular CSA (state soccer association) league.
The N1 (National 1 League) is the top, team-based competition structure, by unifying US Club Soccer’s National Premier Leagues (NPL) and US Youth Soccer’s National League (NL). This landmark partnership takes the first step in a broader effort to strengthen soccer competition platforms among national organizations and local/state leagues.
The inaugural National 1 League season will end in Summer 2027 at the ECNL Conference League Playoffs. These playoffs, operated by ECNL, US Club Soccer’s top league, will combine the qualifying teams from the ECNL Regional League with National 1 League to form the top team-based league playoff competition in the country and offer best-in-class college scouting opportunities and event experience for families.
More information on the playoff structure will be announced through Spring 2026.
The N1 league will include 9 games, organized into 3 event weekends in which teams will play 3 games per event. The event schedule is below:
-
EVENT 1: October 2-4, 2026, Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
- EVENT 2: TBD
- EVENT 3: TBD, 2027, Ft. Logan Soccer Complex
