Baller League UK Season 3 fixtures, schedule, teams, managers and how to watch live on Sky Sports

Baller League UK is back for a third season - and it's live once again on Your Site!

Your Site and Baller League UK have extended their partnership into a third season of the six-a-side competition, meaning fans can watch every match from London's Copper Box Arena live on Your Site on Monday evenings from 5pm, starting on March 16.

Sharky's SDS FC lifted the inaugural trophy, but they were beaten in the final last season by Wembley Rangers.

Mark Goldbridge has joined the Baller League manager line-up this time around, while a new 12th team - Community Team FC - will compete as reward for winning a nationwide Baller League Community Cup.

From the teams and managers to the fixture schedule and format, here's all you need to know...

The Baller League is a six-a-side indoor football competition that began in Germany, created by entrepreneur Felix Starck and supported by Mats Hummels and Lukas Podolski.

The influencer-led league - headlined by KSI for the UK version - sees former Premier League players, futsal players and celebrities face one another in 12 teams to win the Baller League. Each team battles it out for 11 weeks to determine the final four. The winner is decided in a final four play-off, with two semi-finals setting up the final.

The season 3 action runs from March 16 to May 25, with the finals night on June 7.

Each team has 12 players to choose from - selected in a Ballers League draft - with halves that are 15 minutes long.

There are no corners - if the ball goes behind off the opposition three times, a penalty is awarded to the attacking team ('90s MLS-style!) - and in the final three minutes of each half, different rules are added.

Those 'gamechangers' include a 3 vs 3 format, long-range goals scored from behind the offside line counting as double and goalkeepers unable to use their hands.

Matches will take place every Monday for 11 consecutive weeks, before the top four teams in the league standings battle it out in the semi-finals and final to crown the champion.
