Baller League UK has arrived with the new six-a-side football tournament combining Premier League<\/a> legends and a host of social media<\/a> stars.<\/p>\n

The influencer-led tournament, which first gained popularity in Germany<\/a>, has now been brought to the UK for its first season and will be held in London<\/a>’s Copper Box Arena.<\/p>\n

A host of ex-Premier League stars have been drafted to compete in the league which will see twelve teams compete for a top-four spot and a place in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

And each team is also blessed with a high-profile manager, with the likes of Alan Shearer, Luis Figo, John Terry, Ian Wright and Gary Lineker all involved from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the tournament’s first round of action, here’s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

Baller League UK format and rules<\/h2>\n

Each team has 12 players to choose from which were created in a draft earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

The six-a-side matches will take place indoors and feature two 15-minute halves and rolling subs.<\/p>\n

While the offside rule is still in place, there are no corners and, instead, a penalty is awarded if the ball goes behind off the opposition three times.<\/p>\n

Rather than a regulation spot kick, a player take on the goalkeeper 1v1 with only six seconds on the clock to try and score.<\/p>\n

And an additional twist will see new rules added to the final three minutes of each half which include: A 3v3 format, long-range goals counting as double, goalkeepers not being allowed to use their hands and more.<\/p>\n

Managers can sign two wildcards per game week to join their squad, with the MVP of each night winning their team a legend for their next game.<\/p>\n
