Baller League Season 2 betting: Bookmakers, bonuses & latest odds

Season two of the six-a-side football tournament, Baller League, is underway, with twelve teams made up of former footballers, influencers and futsal players vying for glory.

The competition takes place over twelve weeks at the Copper Box in London, with the top four teams at the end advancing to the playoffs held at the O2 Arena.

The inaugural UK edition, which follows the format devised by ex-pros Lukas Podolski and Mats Hummels over in Germany, was won earlier in the year by SDS FC who defeated MVPs United 4-3 in the final. It proved hugely popular, with millions tuning in live on streaming platforms and Sky Sports.

There are also plenty of famous faces in the dugouts, with the worlds of football, TV and YouTube colliding. This time around, actor Idris Elba, presenter Maya Jama and current England Lioness Chloe Kelly will be among those on the touchline.

The league expanded to these shores when KSI was brought in as the UK version’s president, and it will soon reach the US too with Ronaldinho and record-holding sprinter Usain Bolt among the first team managers to be named recently.

We may have had the first three matchdays already, but there is a long way to go on the road to the O2. The UK’s biggest bookmakers are offering odds throughout the tournament, so punters have plenty of time to weigh up who they think will go all the way.

Baller League format

The Baller League is an exciting, indoor football league. It follows a six-a-side format and is similar to Masters Football, which was a popular league in the UK for many years. 

There are 12 teams in the league, each made up of fifteen players – who are a mix of former pros, futsal players, celebrities and influencers. 

These teams will play each other once – a total of eleven games. The top four teams after this will enter the playoffs. The team that finishes first, and the teams finishing second and third, will meet in the semi-finals.

Each game is 30 minutes long, split into two 15-minute halves. Baller matches have unique rules, with no corners being given. Instead, a penalty is awarded if a team puts the ball out at their end three times.

There are also “game changers” and “Baller League minutes” which kick in after 12 and 27 minutes. Game changers include the offside rule being scrapped for a short period, or the teams being reduced to 3v3. Baller League minutes may involve long-range goals counting double, or a “1on1” game where players aim to score from the centre circle – or inside their own half.

Baller League schedule

The Baller League kicked off on 27th October and will conclude on 5th January with the dates of the playoffs to be confirmed.

Sky Sports will be showing the action live every Monday night.
