Pick a league SKU, then open the Leagues tab in the admin panel — your launchpad for the whole season.

Open admin.eggbeater.app and sign in with the account that owns your club — Google, Apple or an emailed sign-in link. Click Purchases in the sidebar (under Club) 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.
  • Both live under "Add more". Hit Upgrade and Stripe Checkout opens in a new tab. Cancel anytime — the subscription is per-season, not annual. Once payment clears, the plan moves up into the Active card with a green badge.
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. With no league yet, the tab offers one primary action and one fallback:

  • Create a league — opens the three-step wizard. This is the path for a brand-new season.
  • Already have one? — paste a share code and hit Restore to adopt an existing league onto this club.
  • Once a league exists, the setup actions add Import from Sheet (pull a schedule from Google Sheets), Import league JSON (a complete config, used for migrations and seed scripts), Edit league, Build Playoff Bracket and Generate Next Round.
  • Live Dashboard, Live Game Console, Standings, Player Stats and Past Leagues 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.
