Cannot call a method?

I have a Game class and a TestGame class, I'm trying to call a method from Game to TestGame.

TestGame.java

public class TestGame {

    Players ceri = new Players("Ceri", 1);
    Players harry = new Players("Harry", 1);
    Players lewis = new Players("Lewis", 1);
    Players kwok = new Players("Kwok", 1);
    Players james = new Players("James", 1);
    Players matthew = new Players("Matthew", 1);


    Game league = new Game("League Table");

    league.addplayer(ceri);

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }
}

and Game.java

public class Game {

    private String name;

    public Game(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }

    public void addPlayer(Players obj){

    }
}

I get red lines underneath league.addPlayer for some reason.

league.addplayer(ceri); is code, not initializer.

You need to put it inside a method or inside an initalizer block.

In this case put it inside your main method.

You'd have to move all of these lines to the main() method:

Players ceri = new Players("Ceri", 1);
Game league = new Game("League Table");
league.addplayer(ceri);

If you move only the last one, the league and ceri variables won't be accessible, as the main method is a static method and these variables would be instance variables.

You should put your code inside the main block.

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    league.addplayer(ceri);
}

All of your Players (and Game) are declared inside the class body. This makes them global variables with default level access. Something to note in addition to Tim B's answer.
