Baller League Season 3 betting: Bookmakers, bonuses & latest odds

Season three 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 by SDS FC who defeated MVPs United 4-3 in the final. SDS made it all the way to the final of Season 2 as well, but were defeated by Wembley Rangers in another 4-3 thriller.

The frantic indoor format, and the razzmatazz brought by the famous faces involved, proved hugely popular, with millions tuning in live on streaming platforms and Sky Sports.

The worlds of football, TV and YouTube collide on the touchlines too. Actor Idris Elba, current England Lioness Chloe Kelly and I’m A Celebrity winner Angry Ginge are among those in the dugouts this time around.

The league expanded to these shores when KSI – who also recently bought a stake in National League South side Dagenham & Redbridge – was brought in as the UK version’s president, and it has just kicked off in the US too with Ronaldinho and record-holding sprinter Usain Bolt coaching two of the ten founding teams.

We may have already had the first three matchdays of Season 3, 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.

• Rukkas FC – 25/1
• VZN FC – 25/1
• Community FC – 50/1

KSI’s Prime FC and two-time finalists SDS FC are the only two sides with maximum points after three matchdays, with Prime topping the table with a whopping +13 goal difference.

NDL FC and Yanited join them in the top four spots with eight and seven points respectively. The bookies, however, are backing seventh-placed Deportrio to join the conversation soon.

Deportrio have a number of recognisable former pros – including Premier League winner Marc Albrighton as well as Marvin Sordell, Martyn Waghorn and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas – who bring hundreds of EFL appearances to the table.

Season 2 champions Wembley Rangers are off to a slow start, having failed to win any of their opening three. VZN FC and Community FC – who are also winless – already face an uphill task to make the top four.

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 with a squad 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, with the first-placed team playing fourth while second meets third.

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 of play 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 “1-on-1” game where players aim to score from the centre circle – or inside their own half.

Baller League schedule

The Baller League kicked off on 16th March and will conclude on 25th May with the final pencilled in for Sunday 7th June at 4pm.

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