The inaugural Baller League season commences at the end of the March but before the action can get underway, the 12 teams must assemble their squads in the draft.

Baller League draft date, time and venue

The Baller League draft will take place at the Copper Box Arena in London from 18:15 (GMT) on Monday 10th March.

Baller League draft format

The Baller League draft will see each of the 12 managers select a squad of 12 players from a shortlist consisting of over 160 players.

The shortlist features former Premier League players, futsal players, released academy players and free agents, who have all featured in Baller League trials across the UK.

Each player has been scouted, rated and ranked in terms of their ability and experience, with the managers to use these reports to help identify the players they wish to select.

The draft is complete once each team has selected 12 players from the available talent pool.

Baller League draft order

The Baller League has adopted a unique approach to determine the order of the draft.

The managers will answer 12 rounds of number-based questions. In each round, the manager with the closest guess will be permitted to pick first, while the manager with the furthest answer will pick last.

Essentially, the managers that have brushed up on their mathematics will be primed to have the better picks in each round.
