Whether you’re starting a new league or just trying to revamp your old league, naming it is important. Consider some of the great Fantasy Football league names we’ve come up with as options for your own. We also share a couple dozen great Fantasy Football team names for the 2017 NFL season!
Everybody will be drafting soon, and now is as good a time as any to start rethinking your old boring league name.
For those considering starting an entirely new league, it’s of the utmost importance to consider some of these great Fantasy Football league names!
Why is this important?
The last thing you want is for guys to have to struggle remembering the league name, or just calling it “that league,” so as not to embarrass themselves at the water cooler, by saying, “Wanna do a trade in the FFLXTTRSL league?”
We’ll help you fix that — but first, let’s help fix your Fantasy Football Team Name!
We like lists. We like numbered lists! That’s why we have articles like the Top 45 FREE Fantasy Football Draft Tools and 42 Fantastic New Fantasy Football League Ideas, etc. So we made more numbered lists for you below!

First, you want something that rolls off the tongue easily. One with plenty of chutzpah! (Although, you should try not to use the word chutzpah in your league name.) As awesome as the TV show, “The League” is, most people are in more than one Fantasy Football league, so they need to call it something special. They need to refer to their league with either a particular word or set of words that stands out, or even an acronym that spells it out.
Secondly, remember that whichever Fantasy Football site you choose to run your league, you’re going to need something that stands out, at least for the league URL. How did the owners of sites selling generic Viagra. For instance, on CBSSports.com, your league URL uses a one-word ID that the commissioner sets. If you don’t want it to be “league124114,” which is tough to remember, then use something you can abbreviate easily and stands out.
I like league names that stand for something. In other words, if the entire group of league owners (or at least most of them) are all from the same college, then name it something to do with that college or their mascot. Here are some ideas on how you would tie people together:
With that said, many of us are in online leagues against people we’ve never met. But still, many of these leagues can be named after something to do with the website you all met at – are started friendships at:
Let’s see what other kinds of ideas we can help you come up with. And don’t forget you can use other words than just “Fantasy,” like “Fake,” “Faux” or “Unreal.”
Feel free to use any combination of these Fantasy league names, mix and match, and make it awesome.
If you didn’t like any of the Fantasy Football League names above, here are some synonyms for the word “League” you might be able to use instead. Lots of times, you want to use a different word for league just to have a better acronym or alliteration.
You can also check out the huge list of league names at MyFantasyLeague.com that have the word “Football” in it. We’d love to hear what you and your leaguemates decided to name your league! Drop it in the comments below!

...or some variation of that, if its a twitter based league.
Dude these league names blow
Dang, Captain Insano thinks I made up crappy names.
I agree with Captain Insano. C'mon make an effort I mean Revis and Buc-head is better than any of these and I just made that shit up
You're going to name your league "Revis and Buc-head"? Have at it, dude. Sounds like a weird league.
I'd love to hear some more suggestions for league name ideas.
The "FLASH" is the best !
SNAP TACKLE POP!
Sanchized!!
Adrians PetersON Fire!
Anthony Dixonherbutt.
Bretts Favragina Hurts.
Huddle Buddies
best one so far
You guys do know these are supposed to be league names not team names right?
Pharr Out Fantasy League
Chose to go the non-humorous route.
Two different league, almost same name.
Fraternal Order of Gridiron Glory
and
Pursuit of Gridiron Glory
Nice job, I like both of those.
I find it extremely humorous that people can't distinguish the difference between naming a league, and naming a team. I think I should name my team the Fresno NFL'rs, and the league will be Smokin a a Bow and Drankin' a Forte.
I enjoy the names and the breakdown of possible changes in the descriptions. Keep up the good work Gonos.
Haha thanks, Crash! I think it's just a matter of lazy readers not knowing what they're reading. Fresno NFL'rs! I like it!
