How it works

  1. List your teams

    One team per line, 2 to 24 of them. With an odd number, one team has a bye each round.

  2. Say how many games

    Everyone plays everyone once, or twice with home and away swapped. Then choose up to how many games each team plays a week.

  3. Add when and where

    The first week, the days you can play, your venues and your start times. Add any dates off if you have them.

  4. Build, check, export

    Read it by week or by team. Change anything and build again, then download, print or email it.

Good to know

  • A team plays at most once a day, so two games a week needs at least two playable days.
  • You can’t drag games around. Change the setup and build again instead.
  • Each round finishes in its own week, so a round never spills into the next one.
  • Your setup is saved in this browser. Nothing is sent to LeagueArc unless you email it to yourself.

Questions

How many games will my season have?

If everyone plays everyone once, a league of n teams has n × (n − 1) ÷ 2 games: 6 teams play 15 games and 10 teams play 45. Playing twice doubles it. Each team plays one fewer game than the number of teams, per time through.

What happens with an odd number of teams?

One team sits out each round, called a bye. Every team gets exactly one bye each time through the schedule, so nobody sits out twice before everyone has sat out once.

Can I edit games after the schedule is built?

Not by dragging them. This free tool does not offer drag-and-drop game editing. Change the teams, days, times, venues or dates off, and build again; the last schedule stays on screen until you do.

Can a team play twice in one day?

No. The tool schedules each team at most once per day. If you want two games a week, pick at least two playable days, or the tool will tell you the week cannot fit.

What if my dates and venues are not enough?

The tool does not double-book anyone to make it fit. It tells you which round and week ran out of room and suggests adding a day, a start time or a venue, playing fewer games a week, or removing a date off.

How are home and away games balanced?

Playing once, each team’s home and away totals differ by no more than one game. Playing twice, the second half reverses every first-half game, so each pair hosts once.

Which sports does it work for?

Any sport where two teams play at a set time and place: soccer, basketball, hockey, volleyball, softball, pickleball and the rest. It does not know sport-specific rules like rest days.

Is it really free?

Yes. Building, printing, downloading and emailing a schedule for 2 to 24 teams is free, with no account. LeagueArc plans add schedule changes, notifications, scoring, standings, registration and payments.
