Paste a list of names and split them into a set number of random, evenly balanced teams instantly.
Names are shuffled randomly, then distributed one at a time across all teams in rotation, ensuring each team gets as close to an equal number of members as possible.
Some teams will have one more member than others — for example, splitting 10 names into 3 teams gives teams of 4, 3, and 3.
Yes, click Generate Teams again to get a new random split with the same list of names.
This tool takes a list of names and splits them into a chosen number of random, evenly balanced teams, useful for sports, classroom activities, group projects, and any situation where you need fair, unbiased team assignment.
The tool first shuffles the entire list of names into a random order, then distributes them across the requested number of teams one at a time in rotation — the first name goes to team 1, the second to team 2, and so on, cycling back to team 1 after reaching the last team. This "round-robin" distribution ensures team sizes stay as balanced as possible (differing by at most one member) while the actual assignment of who goes to which team remains completely random.
All shuffling and team assignment happens directly in your browser — the names you enter are never sent to a server.
