Fields and time

How many fields a 16-team round robin needs, and how long it takes

Played on one day, 120 games, at most 8 games on at once because each game uses two of the 16 teams. Every team plays 15 games, so no schedule is shorter than 15 time slots, and 8 fields reach it. As a weekly league it is 15 weeks, one round a week.

Time for the whole event by number of fields and game length (with 10 minutes between games).

One time slot is one game on one field. Durations are slots × game length plus 10 minutes between slots. Teams can be asked to play in consecutive slots, so add rest time if your sport needs it.

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

Rounds, byes and match days for 16 teams

The generator uses the circle method: one team stays fixed while the others rotate one seat per round, so no pairing repeats and every team plays every round. Home and away are balanced round by round, and in a double round robin the return leg mirrors the first with venues swapped, shifted by one round so no team gets three home games in a row across the halfway line.

At 16 teams a double round robin is 240 games and 30 rounds, which is a full season. Leagues this size usually play a single round robin (120 games) or split into two divisions of 8 and 8 with promotion and relegation between them.

When the pairings are right, the same list becomes a live competition on EasyChamp: the table recomputes as results go in, every team gets a public fixture page, and a knockout can be chained on the end. The free plan goes live with up to 8 teams per competition; Club lifts that.

Questions

16-team round robin generator: asked and answered

How many games are in a 16-team round robin?
120 in a single round robin: 16 teams times 15 opponents, divided by two because each game counts for both teams. Home and away doubles it to 240.
How many rounds does a 16-team round robin have?
15 for a single round robin (every team plays every round); 30 for a double.
Is the home-and-away split fair in a 16-team round robin?
Yes, within one game: the circle method alternates the fixed team's side each round and flips the rotating pairs by position, so every team ends a single round robin with 7 or 8 home games. A double round robin makes it exactly equal.
Does a 16-team schedule need byes?
No. 16 is even, so every round pairs all 16 teams into 8 games and nobody rests. Byes only appear when a team withdraws mid-season, and then the fixture becomes a walkover in the live table.
How many fields do I need for a 16-team round robin on one day?
At most 8 games can be on at once, because each uses two of the 16 teams. So 8 fields give the shortest day: 15 time slots, the fewest possible since every team plays 15 games. One field plays all 120 games back to back; two fields 60 slots, four 30.
How long does a 16-team round robin take?
As a one-day event with 30-minute games and 10 minutes between them: 79 h 50 min on one field, 39 h 50 min on two and 19 h 50 min on four. As a weekly league it is 15 weeks, one round a week, or 30 weeks home and away.
Can I turn this 16-team schedule into a live league?
Yes. Save it to EasyChamp and the same fixtures become a competition with a public page, a table that recomputes from results and a printable match protocol per game. Free goes live with up to 8 teams per competition; Club ($29/mo) lifts that for the season.
