Select how many teams you want — from 2 up to 8. The generator will split your list as evenly as possible, distributing any remainder one-per-team.
Click Generate Teams. Names are shuffled and divided into colour-coded teams. The wheel updates to show each team's colour. Copy the results for easy sharing.
Once teams are generated, click Spin for First Turn to randomly pick which team goes first. The colourful team wheel spins and lands on a winner.
The Team Picker is a free online random team generator that takes the hassle out of splitting people into groups. Whether you're a teacher organising class activities, a coach putting together training squads, or a party host picking trivia teams, just paste your list and click Generate.
Names are shuffled using a fresh random seed every time you click, ensuring no name gets preferentially placed. The generator distributes people as evenly as possible — if the number of participants doesn't divide perfectly, the extra people are spread one per team rather than stacked onto the last team.
The interactive wheel lets you add a fun extra layer by spinning to decide which team has the first turn, pick, or advantage. Teams are colour-coded consistently between the wheel and the results panel so everyone can easily identify their group.

Yes. Before splitting into teams, all names are shuffled using JavaScript's Math.random() seeded at click time. This gives every possible arrangement an equal chance, so no one gets consistently placed on the same team across multiple rounds.
Any remainder is spread evenly — for example, with 22 people and 4 teams, you get two teams of 6 and two teams of 5. No team gets more than one extra person compared to any other.
You can add up to 200 names. The generator works with any number from 2 upward, though teams with only 1 person are possible if you have fewer names than teams.
Yes — copy a column of names from Excel or Google Sheets and paste directly into the text box. Each name lands on its own line automatically.
Click Copy Results after generating teams. The full team list is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into a message, email, or document.
Absolutely — just click Generate Teams again. Each click reshuffles the names independently, so you'll get a different random split every time.
After teams are generated, the wheel displays all team names in their colours. Click Spin to randomly pick which team gets the first turn, move, or advantage — great for games, quizzes, and sports.
