The Baller League UK is under way on Sky Sports! Find out all you need to know on how it works, which famous faces are taking part and how to watch every game.
What is the Baller League?
The Baller League began in Germany, created by entrepreneur Felix Starck and aided by Mats Hummels and Lukas Podolski. It is a six-a-side indoor football competition, with the first UK season taking place at the Copper Box Arena in London.
The influencer-led league – headlined by KSI for the UK version – sees former Premier League players, futsal players and celebrities face one another in 12 teams to win the Baller League.
The action began on Monday March 24 and will take place weekly until the final on June 11, all in front of Sky Sports cameras. Matchday 7 is live on the Sky Sports Mix channel from 5.15pm on May 5.
Baller League rules – how does it work?
Each team has 12 players to choose from – selected in a Ballers League draft – with halves that are 15 minutes long.
There are no corners – if the ball goes behind off the opposition three times, a penalty is awarded to the attacking team, ’90s MLS-style! – and in the final three minutes of each half, different rules are added.
Those ‘gamechangers’ include a 3 vs 3 format, long-range goals scored from behind the offside line counting as double and goalkeepers unable to use their hands.
