135 best fantasy football team names for families

Whether you're in it to win it or just trying to beat your sibling's team, naming your fantasy football team is half the fun. It’s your digital touchdown dance. Your chance to show off your wit. Your weekly scoreboard signature. From the sidelines to the top of the leaderboard, football has its fair share of surprising facts — like who the highest-paid NFL coach is, or how much referees earn for keeping the game in check. And if your Super Bowl knowledge needs a quick refresh, this Super Bowl trivia guide is a fun way to get everyone in the game-day spirit.

And while the internet is filled with options, not all of them are family-friendly or even funny. We’ve got you covered with over 135 clever, clean, and creative fantasy football team names organized by theme, so you can focus on game day and not explaining a questionable pun to your kid.

How to pick the perfect fantasy football team name

Choosing a team name is a mix of creativity, timing, and personal flair. Here are a few quick tips to get your ideas flowing:

• Know your audience. Is your league full of kids, coworkers, or cousins? Go clean or go wild, but know your crowd.

• Lean into your players. Drafting Josh Allen? You’ve got pun potential. Picking Travis Kelce? The Swifties are watching.

• Keep it short and memorable. If it doesn’t fit in a group chat or a trophy engraving, maybe rethink it.

• Have fun with it! Whether you win or lose, your name should bring a smile.
