Single Elimination Bracket Template

Need a bracket template you can print and fill in by hand? Or a pre-seeded bracket with your team names already in place? Our single elimination bracket templates cover tournament sizes from 4 to 64 teams, with clean layouts designed for printing on standard letter or A4 paper.

Available Template Sizes

Each template is generated as a crisp PDF with clearly labeled rounds, numbered seeds, and connector lines between matchups. Choose the size that fits your tournament:

• 4-team bracket — 3 games, fits on a single page. Great for quick office competitions or semifinal stages.
• 8-team bracket — 7 games across 3 rounds. The most popular size for recreational leagues and school tournaments.
• 16-team bracket — 15 games across 4 rounds. Standard for regional competitions and club championships.
• 32-team bracket — 31 games across 5 rounds. Used in larger leagues and qualifying stages.
• 64-team bracket — 63 games across 6 rounds. The March Madness format. Prints best on landscape or tabloid paper.

Blank vs. Pre-filled Templates

You can generate two types of bracket templates. A blank template has empty slots where you write in team names by hand — perfect when you are drawing names from a hat or running a live draft. A pre-filled template lets you type in all team names first, then prints a bracket with names and seeds already placed. Both export as high-resolution PDFs with no watermarks on the free tier for brackets up to 8 teams.
