Source: https://www.benchapp.com/migrate/teamer Markdown: https://www.benchapp.com/migrate/teamer.md ## Moving your team off Teamer? BenchApp is ready for you. Teamer switches off on Monday, October 5, 2026, and there are no export tools. BenchApp gives you a free home for your members, events, availability, and payments. Set up takes minutes, and your players join with a link. - Closure date: October 5, 2026. Teamer accounts and teams stop working on Monday, October 5, 2026. - Data export: Calendar only. There is no members export. Your Events page can give you a calendar feed or .ics file, and your members list has to be copied by hand. - Premium billing: Ends September. Teamer Premium subscriptions are being cancelled during September 2026 to stop October charges. - After closure: Data gone. Teamer says team and user data will no longer be accessible after the closure date. - [Create your free team](https://www.benchapp.com/create-team) - [Teamer shutdown FAQs](https://help.teamer.net/knowledge/teamer-shutdown-faqs) ## Move your team in four steps - 1. Create your free BenchApp team: Pick your sport, name your team, and you are in. No credit card and no trial clock. Managers can run as many teams as they like from one account. - 2. Bring your members across: Teamer has no members export, so open your Members page in a web browser (it shows more than the app: first name, last name, email, phone, and role). Copy it into our roster template, upload it, and BenchApp builds the roster in one go. Short on time? Skip the spreadsheet. Share your team invite link in your Teamer chat or WhatsApp group and each player adds their own details. - 3. Rebuild your schedule: Teamer's Events page has a Sync button that gives you a calendar subscription URL. Paste that URL into BenchApp's Sync Schedule screen, review the fixtures, and they copy straight in. Do it before October 5, because the feed switches off with Teamer. Prefer a spreadsheet? Upload the season from a CSV or Excel file instead. And if your league publishes its own iCal, ICS, or WebCal feed, PRO teams can keep syncing from it all season. - 4. Tell your players: Post the ready-made announcement below in Teamer before it closes. Once players accept the invite, availability, reminders, and payments carry on in BenchApp without missing a game. - [Create your FREE team](https://www.benchapp.com/create-team) - [Import a roster from CSV or Excel](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/4770460-how-do-i-import-my-roster-from-csv-or-excel) - [Invite players with a link](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/4770459-how-do-i-invite-players-to-my-team) - [Import a season from a spreadsheet](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/4770831-can-i-import-my-season-from-an-excel-or-csv-file) - [Sync your league calendar](https://help.benchapp.com/en/articles/7876954-sync-your-schedule-from-your-league) ## Everything you used on Teamer has a home here - Members list → Unlimited roster with player profiles, positions, and contact details (Free) - Events and fixtures → Games, practices, and events with locations, times, and calendar sync (Free) - Availability replies → Email RSVPs with automatic reminders and live attendance counts (Free) - Team messages → Team chat, private messages, and email broadcasts (Free) - Player payments → Payment tracking so you always know who has paid (Free) - Push notifications → Push and email alerts for every game day (Free) - Public team page → A public team website you can share with fans, family, and opponents (PRO) - Teamer Premium extras → No ads, text message RSVPs, broadcasts, and reminders, bulletins and polls, advanced finance tracking, and the live scorekeeper (PRO) ## Copy this into your Teamer chat A ready-to-send note for your players.

Reply here if you get stuck. Thanks! ## Frequently asked questions - When does Teamer shut down? Teamer's own FAQ says the platform closes on Monday, October 5, 2026. Accounts and teams stop being available on that date, and Teamer says team and user data will no longer be accessible afterwards. - Can I export my data from Teamer? Teamer says there are no export tools to make a team's events and members lists portable to a new system. Two workarounds exist. For members, open the Members page in a web browser before October 5 and copy the names, emails, and phone numbers into a spreadsheet, which BenchApp can import. For events, the Teamer Events page has a Sync button with a calendar subscription URL and an .ics download; paste the URL into BenchApp's schedule sync and your upcoming fixtures copy over. Messages and payment history cannot be exported, so screenshot anything you need to keep. - Is BenchApp really free? Yes. The Free plan covers everything you used Teamer for: unlimited roster, scheduling, email RSVPs, team messaging, player stats, and payment tracking. PRO is $9 per month per team and adds no ads, text message RSVPs, broadcasts, and reminders, bulletins and polls, advanced finance tracking, and more. - Do my players have to pay or create accounts? Players never pay. They join from your invite link, download the free app for iPhone or Android or use BenchApp in a browser, and can RSVP and message straight away. - Does BenchApp support my sport? BenchApp supports hockey, roller hockey, ball hockey, street hockey, soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, ultimate, volleyball, lacrosse, pickleball, football, golf, and cycling. Teams in other sports use the closest match, and you can manage several teams from one account. - What about the Teamer Premium subscription I paid for? Teamer says all Premium subscriptions are being cancelled during September 2026 so nobody is billed into October. For refunds or billing questions, contact Teamer directly. BenchApp has no setup fees, so there is nothing to pay to switch. Teamer did one job well: it kept a team's members, events, and availability in one place without much fuss. That is exactly what BenchApp is built for, with a few things Teamer never had. BenchApp is free for every team. RSVPs go out automatically and chase the people who have not replied. Payments are tracked next to the roster, so you stop being the team's accountant. Team chat, polls, and bulletins keep the conversation in one thread instead of three group chats. Switching is quick. Create your team, share the invite link, and your players are back to replying to fixtures within minutes. Everything you set up stays on the Free plan for as long as you want it.
