LeagueLobster Review 2026: Pricing, Pros & Cons

LeagueLobster is a scheduler first, and a good one: round robins, brackets and real constraints such as rest time, travel and coach conflicts. Its pricing is published and cheap to start. Leagues that need registration, standings and a website can get those too; what it does not show is umpire scheduling or stats.

What LeagueLobster Is

LeagueLobster calls itself a league and tournament scheduler. It generates round-robin schedules and single or double elimination brackets, handles constraints for teams, coaches, games per day, rest and travel, and exports schedules to CSV or Excel.

Around the scheduler it offers online registration for teams and players with payments and custom forms, automatic league tables, and club homepages with your own domain. Its homepage does not name the sports it serves.

LeagueLobster Pricing

Prices are in USD and billed monthly. Free publishes schedules with ads and up to 50 games a month. LITE ($9.95/mo) and PRO ($29.95/mo) remove ads and include 100 games a month, then charge per extra game. Registration payments carry a LeagueLobster fee of 1.74% ($1 minimum, $14.95 maximum) on top of Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30.
