Leagues and team counts
Closed leagues like the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL keep the same teams every year unless a franchise moves or expands, so their lists rarely change. Soccer leagues use promotion and relegation, so the clubs change every season. The European lists here are the 2025-26 line-ups, including newly promoted Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland in the Premier League.
| League | Sport | Teams | Filter by |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBA | Basketball | 30 | East or West, then 6 divisions of 5 |
| NFL | American football | 32 | AFC or NFC, then 8 divisions of 4 |
| MLB | Baseball | 30 | American or National League, then 6 divisions of 5 |
| NHL | Ice hockey | 32 | East or West, then 4 divisions of 8 |
| Premier League 2025-26 | Soccer | 20 | Whole league |
| La Liga 2025-26 | Soccer | 20 | Whole league |
| Serie A 2025-26 | Soccer | 20 | Whole league |
| Bundesliga 2025-26 | Soccer | 18 | Whole league |
| NPB, Japan | Baseball | 12 | Central or Pacific League, 6 each |
| J1 League 2025 | Soccer | 20 | Whole league |
| KBO, Korea | Baseball | 10 | Whole league |
| K League 1 2025 | Soccer | 12 | Whole league |
| CBA, China | Basketball | 20 | Whole league |

The NHL’s Utah franchise plays as the Utah Mammoth from 2025-26, and the MLB Athletics play in West Sacramento while their Las Vegas ballpark is built. Both are listed under their current names.
Random team challenges people actually play
- NBA 2K MyLeague rebuild: spin a team, trade nobody for the first season, then try to win a title within five years.
- Madden franchise roulette: draw a random team, keep its starting quarterback for the whole first season and rebuild only through the draft.
- MLB The Show franchise: pick a random team from one division and win that division before you can leave.
- EA FC career mode: draw a Bundesliga or Serie A club you have never managed and play one full season with youth players only.
- Football Manager journeyman: draw a new league and club each time you get sacked.
- Playoff sweepstake: everyone in the office pays nothing and gets one random NHL or NFL team. Last team standing wins the trophy on the desk.
- Stadium bucket list: draw a random MLB or NPB team and plan a trip to see them at home.
- Pick-em with a twist: each player must back the random team the wheel gives them for the whole week.
How the draw works
Every pick is drawn from the teams currently in the pool, after your conference and division filters. In a 30-team league each team has a 1 in 30 chance, about 3.3 percent. Filter to a five-team division and the chance becomes 1 in 5.
With No repeats on, a picked team leaves the pool until every team has come up once, then a new cycle starts automatically. That is the fairest way to hand out teams to a group, because nobody can end up with the same team as someone else. Turn it off if you want every press to be fully independent.
Frequently asked questions
How many teams are in the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL?
The NBA and MLB have 30 teams each, while the NFL and NHL have 32 each. The NBA, NFL and NHL split into two conferences, and MLB into the American and National Leagues.
Can I pick several random teams without duplicates?
Yes. Set How many teams to any number up to the size of the pool. Teams in one batch never repeat, and with No repeats on they also will not repeat across batches until everyone has been drawn.
Which Premier League teams are included this season?
The 20 clubs of the 2025-26 Premier League, including promoted Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland. La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga also use their 2025-26 line-ups.
Can I pick only from one conference or division?
Yes. In the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and NPB, choose a conference or league first, then a division appears to narrow it further, for example NFC North or AL East.
Can I use this for NBA 2K or EA FC challenges?
That is one of the most common uses. Pick a random team for a MyLeague or franchise rebuild, or a random club for career mode, then send the pool to a wheel if you want to reveal it live on stream.
Why are there no team logos?
Team logos are trademarks of the leagues and clubs, so the tool shows names with simple initial badges instead. It is not affiliated with any league or team.
Is the random sports team generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no limit, and it runs entirely in your browser.
