Netflix’s Squid Game took the world by storm. The hit show captivated audiences with its thrilling, high-stakes story. Now, its cultural impact is spilling into America’s favorite fall tradition: fantasy football. Managers are looking to the show’s dark themes and memorable characters for inspiration, and their team names are getting a serious upgrade.
This season, expect your league to become a battleground of creativity. Team names are paying tribute to the terrifying Red Light, Green Light doll, the dreaded Dalgona challenge, and the iconic glass bridge. These names don’t just show you’re a fan of the show; they signal that you’re in it to win it.
So, ditch that boring team name. Embrace the chaos of the games and give your opponents a taste of what’s to come. My personal favorites include The Dalgona Daredevils, Red Light, Green Light, Touchdown!, and The VIPs. In this league, it’s either win big or go home.

Closing Thoughts
I have to end with this Squid Game insight:
Let’s be honest, most of us would’ve been eliminated in Red Light, Green Light because we can’t stop checking our phones.
I hope you enjoyed our Squid Game-themed fantasy football team names.
