Pick a league SKU, then open the Leagues tab in the admin panel — your launchpad for the whole season.
Open app.eggbeater.app/admin.html and sign in with the Google account that owns your club. Click the Purchase tab in the sidebar and pick the right SKU for your league:
- Club League — $99/season. Every team belongs to your club; run an internal or rec league.
- Multi-Club League — $249/season. Teams from multiple clubs (regional leagues, cross-club competitions). Unlocks every Club League feature plus visiting-club spectator access and cross-club standings.
- 3-tap unlocks the checkout. Cancel anytime — the subscription is per-season, not annual. Once payment clears, the Leagues tab in the sidebar shows a crown 👑 instead of a lock 🔒.
If you’re unsure which Club League SKU to buy, start with Club League. You can upgrade to Multi-Club mid-season without losing data — Eggbeater promotes the same league package to the higher tier.
In the admin sidebar, click Leagues. You’ll see a setup card at the top with two primary buttons:
- Set up league — launches the wizard for a brand-new league.
- 📥 Import from Sheet — pull an existing schedule from Google Sheets.
- 📦 Import league JSON — loads a complete league config from a JSON file (used for migrations and seed scripts).
- Below the setup card you’ll find the empty states for Live Dashboard, Live Game Console, Standings, Player Stats and Past Leagues — they fill in as you complete the next steps.
Heads up: the Director tab in the sidebar is for tournaments. When this club has a league configured, Director shows a banner pointing back here. Don’t try to manage a league from the Director tab.
