Baller League, a Berlin, Germany-based 6×6 football league, raised $33M+ in funding.
The round, which followed an $8M round closed in Summer 2024, was led by EQT Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to expand into other global markets.
Founded in 2023 and led by CEO Felix Starck, Baller League is a new indoor football league with the mission of redefining the traditional football experience. With a focus on fast-paced gameplay and engaging fan culture, Baller League has become a favorite among audiences in Germany and is expanding to international markets. Its format, led by footballers including Ronaldinho, Luis Figo, John Terry, Lukas Podolski, and influencers, includes a 6×6, 30 minute format and new rules.
Two weeks ago Baller League announced its expansion to the US and UK, where global superstars KSI and IShowSpeed are to lead leagues along with iconic footballers, presenters, and influencers, such as Luis Figo, Ronaldinho, Freddie Ljungberg, John Terry, Gary Lineker, Angry Ginge, and members of the Sidemen slated as team presidents.
