Create an Excel Soccer League Table Generator


Need a league table generator for a sports league you compete in or manage?

I love sport and Excel to merge the two is enjoyable for me. I have created a league table generator in Excel so that when results are entered for a fixture, the league table will calculate and rank each team accordingly.

Excel soccer league table generator


You don't need to do a thing. After setup just enter the results and let the league table take care of the rest.

Download the Excel league table generator

To use the spreadsheet;
  1. Enter the team names onto the Teams sheet
  2. Enter the fixtures onto the fixtures sheet (check out my Excel fixture list creator)
  3. Enter the results as they happen
Check out the Create sports league tables and tournament in Excel online course and learn how you can set up your own league tables now.

  2. I am trying to further expand your model to be used with 16 teams but am unable to have the league table work. The reason for this is, I think, you have hidden a formula/defined name "Premier Calculations". It only works with 10 teams.

    Would you be prepared to share how this can be expanded?

    Thank you

    1. Yes "Premier Calculations" is a table which can be found on a hidden sheet called Calculations. You can unhide this sheets, they are only hidden to prevent accidents and confusion on them.

      Add the additional teams to the "Teams" sheet and then copy down the league table and calculations tables.

  3. Doh-----why didn't I search for the hidden.

    Thank you---now works a treat :)

    1. You will need to remove the team names from the Teams sheet and then reduce all the tables on Teams, Calculations and League Tables sheets so that the formulas are using the correct ranges.

  13. Hi, I have been trying to use your league table generator with 16 teams but am unable to get it wo calculate correctly. it will only calculate the first 10 teams. I have expanded theCalculations, League, team & fixtures sheets correctly but to no avail. any Suggestions as to whats going wrong??

    ReplyDelete
  14. Won't calculate at all? Or just not correctly?

    If you expanded the lists as you say I cannot envisage a problem. However it is difficult to fully diagnose without seeing the workbook in question.

  15. I can send you a copy of worksheet or screenshots, there are alot of formula errors stating inconsistant formula

    ReplyDelete
  16. not sure whether it makes a difference but I using Excel 2010

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Nahpah59 That won't be a problem. The issue will be with the Calculations or League Table sheet or both. If you are having inconsistent formulas I would guess at this being the first two columns on the Calculations sheet.

    Check how the formulas in the first few rows look. Then match the ones for >10 teams. Might need to modify the last row in the formula.

  18. everything appears to be the same so i am at a loss as to why this is happening, also if you look on the league table the last two positions are blank even though i have imput data for games played. ie i have completly filled fixture results for a draw for all games throughout season

  20. Hi Alan, great workbook.
    I was looking at the fixture and league generator, and our small league play each other more than twice.
    How can I adjust it to calculate and plan the fixtures please?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi Alan, I have got 4 teams, which play twice, so should a fixture list of 12 Matches. But it only creates 10 Matches, not sure whats going wrong

  25. Hi Alan, how can I modify the calculation for the team than loses a match scores 1 point and not 0? Thank you very much.

    1. Hi José, If you unhide the Calculations sheet (right mouse click a sheet tab and select Unhide). You should see the points column. Edit the formula to multiply the number of losses by 1 in the same way it has been done for draws.

  26. Thank you for the spreadsheet. Is there a way to embed the sheet into a webpage so that when you edit the sheet you can refresh the standings published online?

  29. The spreadsheet works great for me, I just wondered if there's any way I can make the teams play each other four times (2 home and 2 away) instead of the standard?

    If not, thanks a whole lot for the spreadsheet anyway!
