Put the teams in an table by saying:

local teamsTable = game.Teams:GetTeams() --creates a variable that contains all the teams (this type of variable is called a table)

 local randomTeam = teamsTable[math.random(1,#teams)] --picks a random team

Explaining the second line of code:

#teams gives us the number of teams that we have inside game.Teams

math.random() picks a random number between 1 and the number of teams (#teams) that we have

used together, math.random(1,#teams) gives us a random number

we can use that random number to get a random team in teamsTable

edit:

we worked thru the code together on discord and came up with the following code:

matchIsInProgress = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if(#game.Players:GetPlayers() >= 2 and not matchIsInProgress)then
        print("there are enough players, start the match")

        matchIsInProgress = true --set the match in progress bool to true

        --You should probably tell the players somehow that the match is about to start soon here
        wait(30) --wait 30 seconds for intermission

         --loop thru players and give each player a random team
        local players = game.Players:GetChildren()

        for i = 1, #players do
            local teamsTable = game.Teams:GetTeams() --creates a variable that contains all the teams (this type of variable is called a table)
            local randomTeam = teamsTable[math.random(1,#teamsTable)] --picks a random team

            players[i].Team = randomTeam
        end
    end
end)

You have to use BrickColor.random() to get a random brick color.

This is what your script would look like

local players = game.Players -- player service

players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) -- runs when a new player joins
    plr.TeamColor = BrickColor.random() --  randomly assigns a player a random team color
end)

If you want to randomize it between two teams, then you do the following:

local players = game.Players -- player service
local teamColors = { -- an array of team colors in the game
    "Lime green", -- the first team color
    "Really red" -- the second team color
}

players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) -- runs when a new player joins
    -- assigns the new player a team based on the teams to choose from in teamColors
    plr.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(teamColors[math.random(1,#teamColors)]) 
end)

Here is my TDM game script im programming so far...:

--Variables
local Values = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values
local S = Values.Status
local radiersspawn = game.Workspace.RaidersSpawn --A spawn for the team to teleport to.
local knightsspawn = game.Workspace.KnightsSpawn --A spawn for the other team to teleport to 
local radiersplayers = game.Teams.Raiders:GetPlayers() --Raiders Team
local knightsplayers = game.Teams.Knights:GetPlayers() --Knights Team
local serverplayers = game.Players:GetPlayers() --Players
local Lobbyplayers = game.Teams.Lobby:GetPlayers() --Players in the lobby


while true do --Game Loop
    if game.Players.NumPlayers == 1 then --You need 2 players to start
        S.Value = "You need 2 (or more) players to start this game!"
    else
        S.Value = "Intermission" --Start game when we have 2 players
    wait(.1)
    S.Value = "Randomizing teams...."
    wait(2)




local Teams = {            --Teams Tabel
    "Lime green",
    "Really red"
    }

for i,v in pairs(Lobbyplayers) do
    v.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(Teams[math.random(1,#Teams)]) --I dont mean by putting all the players in a random team what I mean is 
                                                                          --Moving random players to random teams by teams I mean the "Raiders Team" and the "Knights Team"
                                                                              --Cause im making a TDM game
                                                                                  --This is the part im struggling with. 
end 
    end
        end

Go to studio and then click model, then in model click services and then click Teams. Once you have Teams on explorer, insert a team and play with the properties. You can assign a name to a team color using this. InfinityEngine 223 — 5y
