Last updated: November 2026
Hudl's summer product internship has one of the shortest windows in this series. For summer 2027, Software Engineering, Product Management and Software QA Engineering applications opened on September 10, 2026 and closed on October 1, 2026, three weeks later, according to Hudl's own Product Management Intern posting. That window is closed, and Hudl's timeline says offers go out on November 20. Product interns earn $27 to $31 an hour depending on role and year, and Hudl covers housing and travel to its Lincoln, Nebraska headquarters. One business internship is open right now: a Partnerships Intern in Lincoln at $15 to $15.50 an hour. In plain words: for the product track, you apply in September 2027 and intern in summer 2028.
What Is a Hudl Internship?
A Hudl internship is a paid student role at Hudl, the sports video and data software company headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. Hudl hires interns through two routes. The first is a summer product wave of Software Engineering, Product Management and Software QA Engineering interns, posted each September with a three-week window, with housing and travel covered for interns who move to Lincoln. The second is a rolling set of business internships at headquarters in partnerships, marketing, social media, finance and talent acquisition. Hudl's internships page says interns are "treated like a full-timer" and lists perks such as free lunch, mentoring and employee resource groups. This guide covers US roles only.
When Do Hudl Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
Hudl publishes its product timeline inside each posting, and three cycles show the same September shape. For summer 2026, the Software Engineering posting opened September 11, 2025 and closed October 2, with offers on November 8. For summer 2027, the PM and QA postings opened September 10, 2026 and closed October 1, with first-round interviews October 5 to 23, finals running into November 6 and offers on November 20. The window moved one day earlier year over year, so the projection below is a stable one. The posting-to-start gap is about 8 months: open on September 10, start on May 17. Business internships don't follow this calendar. They're posted one at a time, several with fall starts.
The summer 2027 product window is closed, and offers are due by November 20. One business role is open: Partnerships Intern in Lincoln, posted October 30. If you're near Lincoln, that role is worth a look this month; otherwise use the next ten months to build proof for September 2027.
Prepare. Practice data structures for the coding interview, ship a project in C#, JavaScript or Python, and draft a resume for the role you want. Check Hudl's board every few weeks for business internships.
Expected window for summer 2028 Software Engineering, Product Management and QA roles. In the last two cycles it opened September 10 or 11 and closed three weeks later. Apply in the first week.
Expected interviews: first rounds in October, a coding assessment for software roles, final interviews into early November, and offers in November.
The internship itself, expected mid-May to early August on site in Lincoln, with housing covered. Hudl's internships page profiles former interns now working there full-time.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
This is a hard deadline, not a rolling pool. Each product posting carries Hudl's own dated timeline, and the summer 2027 one read "Oct. 1: Applications close," three weeks after it opened. A year earlier the close was October 2. Once the window shuts, the posting comes off the board and reviews begin, so a late application has nowhere to go. Interviews start within days of the close. A resume that's ready in August beats one you're still polishing in October, because by then the first rounds are already being scheduled. Set a reminder for the first week of September 2027 and apply as soon as the postings appear.
Which Hudl Internship Programs Should You Target?
The product wave hires three titles each September. Business internships are posted on their own schedule, and one is open today.
| Program | Focus | Duration | Key skills |
|---|---|---|---|
| Software Engineering Intern | Software design, microservices and tools for sports analysts; ships code to production | Summer, Lincoln (2027: May 17 to early August) | C# / .NET, JavaScript / React, data structures |
| Product Management Intern | Owns user stories and sprint goals; interviews coaches, athletes and parents | Summer, Lincoln (2027: May 17 to early August) | Product discovery, clear communication, metrics |
| Software QA Engineering Intern | Manual and automated testing, test plans, deployment readiness | Summer, Lincoln (2027: May 17 to early August) | Python or JavaScript, Selenium, Appium, TestRail, Jira |
| Partnerships Intern (open now) | Partnership support and storytelling for Hudl's sales teams | Per posting, in office in Lincoln | Communication, Excel or Google Sheets, CRM tools such as Salesforce |
| Other business internships | Marketing analytics, social media, video, accounting, FP&A, talent acquisition | Per posting; some school-year, part-time | SQL and BI tools, Adobe Premiere, organization |
Product interns must be able to live in Lincoln for the summer. See every current opening on Internships @ Hudl.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
These come from Hudl's own postings for summer 2027 and its live Partnerships Intern role.
• Student status: Hudl's summer 2027 application form says its internships are "only open to currently-enrolled college students." The Partnerships role asks for a current undergraduate.
• Majors: Software Engineering and QA want computer science, software engineering or computer engineering students, while Product Management is open to "any field," including business, design and communications.
• Experience: the PM posting says you "shouldn't be starting from zero" on product work. QA wants some Python or JavaScript.
• Location: product interns live in Lincoln for the summer, with housing covered. The Partnerships role is in office.
• Work authorization: the summer 2027 form asks whether you'll need visa sponsorship but doesn't state a policy. Earlier business postings asked for US work authorization.
• GPA: not stated in any posting we read.
Do You Need to Be a Sports Expert?
No. Hudl's postings ask for empathy with coaches, athletes and parents, not playing experience. A 2016 applicant on Reddit who wasn't into sports asked the same question before interviewing. What the postings do screen for is the skill in the title: code for engineering, testing practice for QA, and some product exposure for PM.
Profile Match · Extern Data
Could You Get In at Hudl? Compare Your Profile
Based on 403 software engineering interns who started their first software internship between 2024 and 2026 (public LinkedIn profiles, aggregated). Six questions, under a minute.
Which summer are you applying for?
Recruiting timelines differ by class year, so we compare you with the right group.
Which group is your school closest to?
Firms recruit on campus in tiers. We match you against admits from schools like yours.
Is your major computer science, software engineering, data science or electrical engineering?
Almost every software intern in our data studied one of these. Other majors get in, but the coursework has to show elsewhere.
How many internships, externships or research positions have you held so far?
Count anything with a real employer, mentor or principal investigator attached. Retail and food service do not count.
Has any of that experience been tech-related?
Software, data, IT, engineering or a research lab. Any size of company counts.
Do you have at least one project on your resume or LinkedIn?
Personal, class, hackathon or open-source projects all count.
Aggregated from public LinkedIn profiles of people who held the internship. No individual profile is shown. Read the cross-industry study of 2,500+ intern profiles.
What Skills Does Hudl Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
We read nine of Hudl's own intern postings from 2025 and 2026 in full: Software Engineering, two Product Management, QA, Partnerships, Marketing Analytics, Social Media, Talent Acquisition and Brand Video. Communication and teamwork show up in almost all of them. The Software Engineering posting names "C# / .NET and Javascript / React," QA lists "Selenium, Appium, TestRail, Jira" and asks you to "blend AI-powered and conventional tooling," and the 2027 PM posting wants you to "interview coaches, athletes, or parents and translate what you hear into clear requirements." Because the sample mixes functions, each technical skill appears in only one to three postings.

Build These Skills Before You Apply
Each skill below comes from Hudl's own intern postings and maps to a remote Externship you can finish before September 2027.
| Skill (from real JDs) | JD evidence | Externship that builds it |
|---|---|---|
| Product discovery and requirements | "interview coaches, athletes, or parents and translate what you hear into clear requirements" (PM, 2027) | BeReal Product Management |
| Data and databases | "Strong SQL skills" (Marketing Analytics); data structures in software roles | SQL & Database Architecture Externship with Breaking Games |
| Automation and AI tooling | "blend AI-powered and conventional tooling" (QA, 2027) | Wayfair n8n AI Agent Engineering |
| Storytelling and audience | "telling stories, communicating to audiences" (Partnerships) | Beats by Dre Creative Advertising Strategy |
None of these replaces C# or React practice for the engineering track. They give you a finished project to talk about in the first-round interview.
What Is the Hudl Application and Interview Process Like?
Hudl prints its product timeline in each posting. This is the summer 2027 version, plus what past applicants describe.
1. Apply in the window. Submit through Hudl's Greenhouse board between about September 10 and October 1; reviews begin when the window closes.
2. First-round interview. For summer 2027 these ran October 5 to 23, starting just four days after applications closed.
3. Coding assessment (software roles). The summer 2026 Software Engineering timeline listed coding assessments from October 7 to 29. A 2024 applicant said the previous year's technical was one easy LeetCode problem and one sliding-window medium.
4. Final interviews. October 6 (QA) or October 12 (PM) to November 6.
5. Offer. Hudl's timeline set November 20, 2026 for summer 2027 offers, and November 8, 2025 the year before.
Business internships skip this calendar: they're reviewed one posting at a time.
What Students on Reddit Say
Hudl threads are few, so the dates matter. These are lightly paraphrased from threads we read in full; the first is from 2024, the last from 2016.
A sophomore asking about Hudl's technical interview in September 2024 got a reply from someone who took it the year before: one easy LeetCode problem and one sliding-window medium.
A student weighing a Hudl summer offer in November 2021 asked about Lincoln and the culture. A past summer intern later replied that the culture was relaxed, they learned a lot, and they got a return offer.
An old thread from 2016: a past intern described three rounds, a behavioral interview, a technical round with engineers and a hiring-manager conversation, and said housing was provided.
How Do You Stand Out for a Hudl Internship?
First, be ready before September. The window lasts three weeks and interviews start days after it closes, so have your resume and one strong project done by late August. Second, match the posting's stack: C# or React work for engineering, a test plan or Selenium script for QA, and evidence of product work (a class, a club project, user interviews) for PM, since the posting says you "shouldn't be starting from zero." Third, if you live near Lincoln, watch for business internships year-round; some start in the fall and run part-time during the school year. Hudl doesn't publish a class size or conversion rate.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Hudl internship?
No. The summer 2026 internship has ended, and the summer 2027 product window also closed on October 1, 2026, with offers due by November 20. What's open now is one business role, a Partnerships Intern in Lincoln. For Software Engineering, PM or QA, the next window is expected around September 2027, for summer 2028.
When do Hudl internship applications open?
Product applications open in early September and stay open about three weeks. For summer 2027 they ran September 10 to October 1, 2026, and the year before September 11 to October 2. Expect the summer 2028 window around September 10, 2027. Business internships are posted throughout the year in Lincoln.
How much do Hudl interns make?
Hudl's postings list $27 to $29 an hour for Product Management and QA interns in summer 2027, and $30 to $31 for Software Engineering interns in summer 2026. The open Partnerships Intern role pays $15 to $15.50 an hour. Hudl says pay within each range is set by your year in school.
Does Hudl pay for intern housing?
Yes, for product interns. Hudl's summer 2027 postings say it wants interns who can live in Lincoln for the summer and that it will cover housing costs and travel to Lincoln. Business internships are aimed at students already near Lincoln, and those postings don't mention housing.
Are Hudl internships remote?
No, not the US roles we found. Product interns work on site at Hudl's Lincoln headquarters from mid-May to early August, and the Partnerships posting says remote work isn't an option. Some business roles, such as social media and talent acquisition, ask for candidates within commuting distance of Lincoln.
What is Hudl's internship interview process?
For summer 2027 product roles it ran: apply by October 1, first-round interviews October 5 to 23, final interviews into November 6, and offers on November 20. Software roles have had a coding assessment, which one 2024 applicant described as an easy and a medium LeetCode-style problem.
Who can apply for a Hudl internship?
Currently enrolled college students. Software Engineering and QA want computer science, software engineering or computer engineering majors, while Product Management is open to any field with some product exposure. Hudl's postings don't state a GPA, and the application form asks about visa sponsorship without stating a policy.
Do Hudl interns get return offers?
Some do. Hudl's internships page profiles three former interns now in full-time roles, including a data scientist, and a past summer intern on Reddit reported a return offer. Hudl doesn't publish a conversion rate or class size, so there's no number to benchmark against.
Put a reminder in your calendar for early September 2027, when Hudl's product window is expected to open. Until then, a remote Externship gives you a finished project to bring to the first-round interview.
