How do I move players between teams?

Move one or more roster players from one league team to another in the current season.

Use Move Players when a player needs to switch teams partway through a season. You can move several players from the same team at once.

This is for league managers. Teams are picked by division, so each team needs a division to show up here.

Step 1: Open Move Players

  1. Go to Teams.

  2. On the web, click Move Players. In the app, tap ⋯, then Move Players.

The league Teams page with Move Players highlighted, on desktop and in the iOS app

Step 2: Pick the players

  1. Choose a From Division, then a From Team.

  2. Under Players, select the players to move, or tap Select All.

  1. Choose a To Division, then a To Team. It can be in a different division.

  2. Click or tap Process.

Tip: Only roster players are listed, including players marked injured, on holiday or suspended. Spares, spectators and staff can't be moved here.

If a player doesn't move

  1. Move Players stays open and names the players who didn't move. Everyone else has already moved. Sometimes it can only say how many players didn't move, not who.

  2. The players who didn't move stay selected. If you only saw a number, your selection stays as it was, and players who already moved drop off the list. Click or tap Process to try again. Players who already moved aren't sent again.

Tip: Your league plan sets how many teams you can have. If the limit blocks a move, BenchApp shows a warning instead.
