Add Teams and Players
Add teams and roster players to a LeagueFlow league using safe, organized roster data.
Beginner / 15 minutes / 3 min read
This tutorial adds teams and players to an existing league.
Prerequisites
- A LeagueFlow organization exists.
- A league exists inside that organization.
- You have Owner or Admin access to add teams.
- You have Owner, Admin, Staff, or scoped team-manager access to add roster players.
- Organization management is available. View-only organizations cannot create teams or players.
- You have team names and roster information ready.
Open the league teams area
From the league dashboard, open the teams area. The page heading uses the league name, such as Metro Cup 2026 teams.
Metro City Spring League teams
Add and manage the teams that belong to this league. This is the base for future roster, schedule, and standings work.
No teams yet
Add the first team to this league so roster and scheduling work can build on a real competition structure.
Choose manual setup or spreadsheet import
Use Add team for manual setup. If several teams and players already exist in a CSV or XLSX file, organization Owners and Admins can use Import spreadsheet instead.
Import teams and players
Upload your existing spreadsheet. LeagueFlow will detect its columns, show every change, and ask you to confirm before saving anything to Metro Community League.
1. Upload
2. Match columns
3. Review
4. Results
Choose your spreadsheet
Drop a CSV or XLSX file here
No LeagueFlow template is required. The first row should contain column names. Maximum 5 MiB and 1,000 data rows.
Prefer a starting point? Download an optional template.
Teams can be created automatically
Players are checked for possible matches
Nothing saves before confirmation
Supported formats: CSV and XLSX. Formulas are read as their saved values; macros are never executed.
Add each team
Select Add team. Complete Quick setup with Team name, Home base, Team color, and optional Team logo.
Use More details when you need a short description, Facebook link, staff directory, private contact, or notes. Select Create team.
Add the next team to the league.
Build the team identity first, then fill in the public profile, staff directory, and private coordination details.
Quick setup
Start with the basics.
Uploading a logo opens `Position team logo` for a square crop. You can skip the logo and add it later.

If something blocks the workflow
- If
Add teamis unavailable, confirm you are an organization Owner or Admin and that the organization is not view-only. - If a scoped team manager cannot open another team, use the team assigned through registration.
- If a player already exists, organization Owners can use
Roster toolsinstead of creating a duplicate profile. - If several roster rows already exist in a file, use spreadsheet roster import and review possible matches before confirming.
