Random Team Generator

The Random Team Generator is a free online tool for splitting a list of names into random teams, groups, or pairs.

Enter one participant per line, choose how the list should be divided, and select Generate teams. Every participant is shuffled and assigned once.

The generated team sizes are kept as even as possible, so the largest and smallest groups differ by no more than one person.

Enter or paste the list of names.

Choose Team count when you know the exact number of groups, or Team size when you know the maximum number of people per group.

Add custom team names or enable one random leader per team when needed.

Select Generate teams, then reshuffle, copy, download, or share the result.

Team count creates exactly the number of non-empty teams you request.

People per team calculates the minimum number of teams needed without exceeding your selected maximum.

When the roster cannot be divided evenly, the remaining participants are spread across several teams rather than placed into one unusually large group.

Choose Team size and enter 2 to use the tool as a random pair generator.

An even roster creates complete pairs. With an odd roster, one participant is placed in a single-person group rather than being duplicated or omitted.

Custom team names can represent colours, rooms, tables, topics, departments, game factions, or activity stations.

When leader selection is enabled, one member is selected randomly from each generated team.

The leader remains part of the team and every member of that team has an equal chance of being chosen.

Copy creates a readable text list containing the team names, members, and leader labels.

CSV downloads a file with Team, Member, and Role columns for use in spreadsheet and record-keeping workflows.

Share creates a link containing the exact generated result and its settings. Supported devices open the native share menu; other browsers copy the link.

Anyone with a shared link can read the names included in it, so do not use result links for confidential or sensitive rosters.

It removes the need to count participants and calculate group sizes manually.

Teachers can create classroom groups, facilitators can prepare breakout sessions, and players can divide informal sports or game participants.

Random allocation can reduce habitual self-selection, but the result should still be reviewed when participant needs or team suitability matter.

No account or installation is required.

The roster and generated teams remain in the browser unless you deliberately copy, download, or share them.

The generator balances the number of people in each group, not their skill or compatibility.
