Baller League Season 2 line-ups: Confirmed teams

Baller League UK Season 2 is here – with a wild and wonderful mix of ex-pros, semi-pros, rising stars, and wildcards set to showcase their skills at the Copper Box Arena.

The inaugural season of the celebrity-backed six-a-side tournament certainly caught the eye and there are plenty of famous faces involved again this time around.

12 teams, including multiple new additions, are set to battle it out over 11 weeks to be crowned champion – with every game live on YouTube.

SDS FC – backed by YouTuber Sharky – won the Season 1 title, but will face plenty of competition as they look to defend it.

On the sidelines, you'll spot a host of celebrities, ex-footballers, and social media personalities, while the line-ups on the pitch will be just as varied.
