Printable Brackets: Free Single & Double Elimination Tournament PDFs
Printable brackets are free, blank tournament templates you can download, print, and fill in by hand. This hub is home to every printable bracket on SportsBrackets.net: single and double elimination templates in a range of sizes, plus interactive bracket makers and printable brackets for major events like the NFL playoffs, March Madness, the NHL playoffs, and the World Cup. Every printable is a clean one-page PDF with a title you can delete in a PDF editor.
Single Elimination Brackets
In single elimination, one loss ends your run. These blank templates handle both clean power-of-two fields and odd sizes that need byes.
More single elimination sizes are being added regularly, from small 4-team pools up through large fields.
Double Elimination Brackets
In double elimination, you have to lose twice to be out. Losers drop into a second bracket and can fight their way back to the championship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these printable brackets free?
Yes. Every bracket on this hub is a free PDF you can download, print, and fill in by hand, with no account or payment required.
What is the difference between single and double elimination?
In single elimination, one loss eliminates a team. In double elimination, a team must lose twice, so losers drop into a second bracket and can still reach the championship.
What size bracket do I need?
Match the bracket to your number of teams. If your team count is not a power of two (like 15), the bracket adds byes in the first round so it still works.
Can I remove the SportsBrackets title from the PDF?
Yes. The title at the top of each printable is a separate text object, so you can delete it in a PDF editor for a clean, unbranded sheet.
Do you have brackets for specific tournaments?
Yes. Along with blank templates, this hub links to event brackets for the NFL playoffs, NHL playoffs, March Madness, and the World Cup that update with the real matchups.
