Round robin generator

Paste your teams and get every round of a round robin: each team plays every other exactly once, or home and away, with byes shown for odd numbers and venues balanced so nobody plays three home or three away games in a row. Includes a fixture list per team, a print sheet and a share link.

Odd number of teams? One sits out each round. The bye is printed on the round. Home and away are balanced so no team ends more than one game out.

How it works

Three inputs, one printable sheet

  1. 1

    List the teams

    One per line. Any number from 2 to 64. Odd numbers get a bye each round.

  2. 2

    Single or double

    Tick home & away to play every pairing twice with venues swapped in the return leg.

  3. 3

    Print or share

    The rounds and each team's own fixture list print on one sheet; the share link rebuilds the same rounds for anyone.

Questions

Round robin questions, answered

How many games are in a 10-team round robin?

45. Every team plays the other nine once, and each game involves two teams, so it is 10 × 9 ÷ 2. The general rule is N × (N − 1) ÷ 2: 6 teams is 15 games, 8 teams is 28, 12 teams is 66. Double it for home and away.

How many rounds does a round robin take?

N − 1 rounds for an even number of teams (8 teams → 7 rounds, each team playing every round). An odd number needs N rounds, because one team has a bye each round (7 teams → 7 rounds with one team resting per round).

What happens with an odd number of teams?

A phantom slot is added so the pairing still works, and whoever draws the phantom sits that round out. Each team gets exactly one bye per cycle, and the resting team is printed on the round so nobody turns up to an empty pitch.

Is home and away balanced?

Yes. The generator uses the circle method with a balancing rule, so in a single round robin every team's home and away counts differ by at most one, and in a double round robin the return leg swaps venues, so they are exactly equal.

Can I print it or share it?

Both. Print gives you the rounds and the per-team fixture lists on a clean sheet; Copy share link puts your team list and options into the URL, so the group chat sees the same rounds you do. Nothing is stored on a server.

Is it free?
