With Season 4 kicking off on 12 October, here's the latest on the team line-up, manager changes and the big-name signings arriving in Baller League UK.
Building towards Season 4
Baller League UK returns on Monday 12 October 2026 at the new Baller League Arena in Dagenham — and the league has been busy reshaping its line-up over the summer. Here’s what we know so far.
Teams and managers
Eleven of the twelve teams look set to return, led by familiar faces: KSI (Prime), Niko Omilana (NDL), Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge (Deportrio), Chloe Kelly (Clutch), Mark Goldbridge (Gold Devils), Jens Lehmann (N5), Idris Elba (Rukkas), Sharky (SDS), TBJZL / Tobi Brown (VZN).
Two notable shifts:
- Wembley Rangers are now listed with both Ian Wright and Alan Shearer on the touchline — a genuine Premier League-legend double act.
- Angry Ginge’s Yanited do not appear in the Season 4 line-up, and a 12th team is listed as TBD. Given the league’s talk of Premier League clubs fielding sides, that vacant spot could be one to watch.
These details come from publicly edited sources (Wikipedia, 25 September 2026) and aren’t all officially confirmed — we’ll verify against ballerleague.uk as it updates.
The big signing: Ben Mee
The headline arrival so far is Ben Mee, the former Burnley captain, who has come out of retirement to join Deportrio. The 37-year-old links up with ex-Manchester City and England defender Joleon Lescott in a seriously experienced back line.
Rumours
- Gymskin — the viral TikTok/Kick star who appeared at Baller League in 2026 — is widely linked with a managerial role. Unconfirmed.
Off the pitch
Season 4 will be online-only after the league’s Sky Sports deal ended. Expect live coverage across YouTube, Twitch and Kick.
What’s next
The full fixtures and squads are expected to be confirmed imminently. Season 4 runs every Monday from 12 October to 21 December 2026, with the Final Four deciding the champion.
