Fantasy football, but not as you know it. Brutal. Brilliant. Blood-soaked.

Blood Bowl is the game of violent fantasy football, where teams of orcs, elves, dwarfs, and more clash on the pitch in a glorious mix of touchdowns, tackles, and total mayhem.

Set in an alternate version of the Warhammer world, Blood Bowl blends sports, strategy, and slapstick violence into one of the most unique tabletop games around. Build your dream team, develop your players, and win at all costs (even if it means a few casualties along the way).

Blood Bowl is pure, unpredictable fun – equal parts carnage, cunning, and chaos, with just enough comedy to keep things gloriously messy.

What Makes Blood Bowl Different?

It’s Warhammer meets American football – turn-based and dice-driven, but packed with strategic choices. Every player matters, every turn counts, and a single lucky dodge or brutal Blitz can change the entire game.

Blood Bowl is ideal for both casual one-off games and full leagues where players gain skills, suffer injuries, and retire (sometimes permanently) as the season progresses.

It’s fast, funny, and highly replayable – with enough depth to keep you coming back for more.

Choose Your Team

There’s a team for every playstyle and personality – from brute force bashers to nimble dodgers and tricksy specialists. Some of the most popular teams include:

Reikland Reavers (Humans)

Balanced, adaptable, and beginner-friendly. Great all-rounders.

Gouged Eye (Orcs)

Tough, aggressive, and made for smashing faces. Expect carnage.

Skavenblight Scramblers (Skaven)

Lightning-fast ratmen that win by scoring quickly – or dying trying.

Grimhold Grudgebearers (Dwarfs)

Slow, steady, and built like anvils. Hard to move, harder to hurt.

Thunder Valley Greenskins (Black Orcs)

Heavy hitters who love a good punch-up more than a touchdown.

Elven Union, Necromantic Horror, Chaos Chosen, Halflings, Snotlings…

Whether you’re here to win or just to cause chaos, there’s a team for you.
