Random Team Generator
Paste a list of names and split them randomly into balanced teams. Free to use, no signup required for occasional use.
What is the Random Team Generator?
The Random Team Generator takes a list of names and splits them fairly into a set number of teams using a random shuffle. It's built for sports, classroom group work, office activities, gaming squads, or any situation where you need to divide people into balanced groups without bias or favoritism. The tool shuffles the full list first, then distributes names evenly across the chosen number of teams, so team sizes stay as close to equal as possible even when the group doesn't divide evenly.
How to use it
Type or paste your list of names, one per line (or comma-separated). Enter how many teams you want to create, then click 'Generate teams'. The tool shuffles the names randomly and distributes them evenly across the teams, which are displayed as separate cards you can screenshot or copy for sharing.
Frequently asked questions
How does the tool keep teams balanced in size?
Names are shuffled randomly and then distributed one by one across teams in rotation, so team sizes differ by at most one person.
Can I re-shuffle to get a different split?
Yes, click 'Generate teams' again at any time to get a fresh random split of the same list.
Is there a limit on how many names I can enter?
No hard limit — you can paste as many names as you need, split across as many teams as you like.
