How do I join a league for my country or local club?

Leagues provide great opportunities to represent your nation, state, city and community in many different types of chess, including daily chess, vote chess, rapid and bullet.

To participate, you will usually need to join a club which participates in the league. For instance, to compete in the World League, you must join a participating club like Team Russia or Team USA. Leagues are run by admins who are volunteers on Chess.com, not by staff.

Most leagues have a headquarters open to competing club admins and sometimes to players.
