About the Random team generator

Paste a list of names and split them into fair, balanced random teams. Choose how many teams you want, or set a fixed team size and let the generator work out the rest — team counts always stay balanced to within one member. Give your teams custom names, reshuffle for a different split, and copy the result to share. It's ideal for PE class, sports, group projects, game nights and workshops, and it runs entirely in your browser.

Random team generator features

  • 01

    By count or by size

    Split into a set number of teams, or into teams of a fixed size — the generator balances the groups automatically so nobody is left in a lopsided team.

  • 02

    Named teams & reshuffle

    Add your own team names (or use the defaults), then re-generate as many times as you like for a fresh, cryptographically random split each time.

  • 03

    Copy & share instantly

    Every team and its members are laid out clearly and colour-coded. Copy the whole roster as plain text to paste into chat, email or a scoreboard.

Random team generator FAQ

How do I split a list of names into random teams?
Paste your names one per line, choose the number of teams (or a team size), and press Generate. Everyone is shuffled with secure randomness and distributed into balanced teams.
Can I make teams of a specific size?
Yes. Switch to 'teams of size' mode and set the size — the generator creates as many teams as needed and keeps the member counts balanced.
Are the teams evenly balanced?
Yes. Names are distributed round-robin after shuffling, so team sizes never differ by more than one person.
Can I name the teams myself?
Yes. Enter one team name per line in the team names box; any teams you don't name fall back to Team 1, Team 2 and so on.
Is the team generator private?
Completely. Your name list is processed in your browser only — nothing is uploaded, saved or tracked.
