How to make random teams
- Enter one name per line.
- Choose Number of teams (for example 3 teams) or Players per team (for example groups of 4).
- Press Generate teams. Press it again for a new random split.
Uneven groups
When the group doesn't divide evenly, the leftover people are spread across teams one at a time, so team sizes never differ by more than one person. With 10 people and 3 teams you get teams of 4, 3 and 3.
Where it helps
- PE lessons, sports practice and friendly matches.
- Classroom group work and workshops.
- Game nights, quizzes and tournaments.
- Hackathons and team-building events.

Frequently asked questions
Is the split fair?
People are shuffled with a secure random shuffle and dealt out like cards, so nobody is favoured.
Can I copy the teams?
Yes, use the Copy teams button to paste them into a chat or document.
Can I balance teams by skill?
This generator is purely random. For skill-balanced teams, split your list into skill groups first and generate teams from each group.
