Football season is back, which means Sunday afternoons will soon be filled with the sound of whistles, the smell of chili simmering in the kitchen, and the sight of one too many folding chairs pulled up in front of the TV. Around here, we take our game days seriously—and that includes fantasy football! Picking a funny fantasy football team name is almost as important as your draft picks. Almost.
The right name makes your league smile (or groan) every time they see it in the standings. Maybe you're inspired by your favorite player, who makes you jump off the couch every single time they score. Or perhaps you've been waiting all year to debut a hilarious football pun that came to you in the middle of last season. There are team names that nod to football legends, ones that borrow from blockbuster movies, and even a few that Swifties know all too well. (See what we did there?) If you can work in a Travis Kelce reference, all the better!
And don't forget the family leagues. Kids, cousins, grandparents—they all deserve a fantasy football name that's clever enough to make them laugh but still wholesome enough for the group chat. Football terms themselves are practically begging to be turned into wordplay, and sometimes the simplest twist on a "touchdown" or "blitz" is the one that sticks. The best part? These team names often double as great football Instagram captions.
We've rounded up a big ol' list of funny fantasy football team names, sorted into categories so you can find exactly the kind of laugh you're after. Whether you win the league or end up dead last, at least you'll have bragging rights for the best name!
