How to split a group into random teams
- Paste or type the names, one per line or separated by commas.
- Choose Number of teams (for example 4 teams) or People per team (for example teams of 3).
- Tick Random team names and Pick a captain if you want them.
- Press Make teams. Press it again to reshuffle, then Copy or Export CSV.
The list is shuffled with your browser’s cryptographic random generator and dealt out one by one, like cards, so team sizes never differ by more than one. With 10 people and 3 teams you get 4, 3 and 3. Names stay on your device; nothing is uploaded.
What you can do with it

- Quiz nights and office events, with ready-made team names such as Quiz Khalifas or Spreadsheet Warriors.

Common questions
How does the random team generator make teams fair?
It shuffles the whole list with a cryptographic random generator, then deals names to teams in turn. Every arrangement is equally likely and team sizes differ by at most one person.
Can I set the team size instead of the number of teams?
Yes. Change Split by to People per team. With 11 people and teams of 3 you get four teams of 3, 3, 3 and 2.
Can I pick a random NHL, NCAA or IPL team here?
Yes. Open the Random league team, college or sport tab and choose NHL, College football, College basketball or IPL. Links such as ?mode=nhl, ?mode=ncaa-football and ?mode=ipl open that list directly.
Which college football teams are included?
The 68 Power Four and Notre Dame programs as aligned for the 2026 season: 16 SEC, 18 Big Ten, 16 Big 12, 17 ACC and Notre Dame. Group of Five and FCS programs are not in the list.
Are the names I enter stored anywhere?
No. The names are split in your browser and never sent to a server. Reloading the page clears them.
Can I get a random sport to play?
Choose Random sport in the second tab. Filter by team or individual, by category or by Olympic status, and draw several at once without repeats.
