Funny Fantasy Football League Names for 2024

The League of Extraordinary Douchebags

Fancy Football League

A Confederacy of Dunces

The Cellar Dwellers

This is a good league name for those with high turnover rates.

Perinneal Poor Projections

This hilarious fantasy football league name is particularly applicable to dynasty leagues.

Armchair Football League (AFL)

United States Fantasy League (USFL)

This idea is for those leagues that are nostalgic for the first failed spring football league. But good luck, XFL 2.0!

Fellowship of the Super Bowl Ring

League of Nations

Or how about a league of just guys named Nathan called the League of Nathans?

Though Xavier’s School for Ordinary Adults may be more accurate.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

For this creative fantasy football league name, you could go with League of Pretty Ordinary Gentlemen (if that’s more accurate).

Side note: Is it weird that you spell umlaut without an umlaut?

I’d expect some serious funk and jazz at this fantasy football draft.

The Polyphonic League
