Random Team Generator

Enter names (one per line), choose the number of teams, and shuffle into balanced random groups.

How It Works

Enter all participant names (one per line), select how many teams you want, and click Shuffle. The generator uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm for truly random distribution, then deals names round-robin style so each team has an equal number of members (or as close as possible when the group does not divide evenly).

Common Uses

Classrooms: Teachers use random team generators to create fair project groups without favoritism. Sports: Pick-up games where captains alternating picks takes too long. Game nights: Split your group for team-based party games, trivia, or charades. Workplaces: Random teams for brainstorming sessions, hackathons, or team-building activities.

Team Generator FAQ

Is the shuffle truly random?
Yes. The generator uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, which produces an unbiased random permutation. Every possible arrangement of names is equally likely. Clicking Re-shuffle produces a completely new random arrangement.
What if the group does not divide evenly?
The generator distributes names as evenly as possible. For example, 7 people split into 3 teams would produce teams of 3, 2, and 2. Which teams get the extra member is random.
