- Chance each
The draw covers the 92 teams across the three big American leagues (30 in the NBA, 32 in the NFL and 30 in MLB) either from all of them at once or from one league. Each result shows the conference or league division the team sits in.
How it works
The list holds team names and cities, which change rarely: a relocation or rename happens every few years at most, unlike rosters, which turn over every season. That is the reason this covers teams and not players.
- NBA: 30 teams, split into Eastern and Western conferences.
- NFL: 32 teams, split into the AFC and the NFC.
- MLB: 30 teams, split into the American and National Leagues.
- Drawing more than one team shuffles the pool first, so a single draw never repeats a team.
Drawing from all three leagues gives every team the same chance regardless of league, so with 32 of 92 teams the NFL comes up slightly more often than the other two. That is the honest consequence of a flat draw rather than a bug.

Frequently asked questions
Why are there no individual players?
Because rosters change every season and a list bundled today would be wrong within months. Presenting stale roster data as current is worse than not having it. Team names, by contrast, hold steady for years, so this covers them and stops there.
Is the list current?
It reflects the 30 NBA, 32 NFL and 30 MLB franchises as they stand. Relocations and renames are rare but do happen, the Commanders and the Guardians are both recent, so a team that has moved since this was written may be listed under its previous city.
Why does the NFL come up more often?
Because a draw across all three leagues gives every team the same chance, and the NFL has 32 teams to the others' 30. Filtering to one league gives every team in it an identical chance.
Can I get the same team twice?
Not within a single draw. The pool is shuffled and teams taken from the top. Drawing twice separately can of course produce the same team, since each draw starts from the full pool.
Are other leagues included?
No. It covers the NBA, NFL and MLB only. Adding the NHL, MLS or leagues outside the United States would roughly double the list and none of it is in the current data, so the count on the page is what it actually holds.
