How Many Acres Is a Football Field?
A football field is 1.32 acres including the end zones: the full field measures 360 × 160 feet, which is 57,600 square feet, and 57,600 ÷ 43,560 = 1.32. The playing field alone — goal line to goal line — is 48,000 sq ft, or 1.1 acres.

With and without the end zones
“Football field” can mean two different areas, which is why you see both 1.1 and 1.32 quoted:
| Definition | Dimensions | Square feet | Acres |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full field (both 30-ft end zones) | 360 × 160 ft (120 × 53⅓ yd) | 57,600 | 1.32 |
| Playing field only (100 yd) | 300 × 160 ft | 48,000 | 1.10 |
Turned around: one acre is 0.76 of a full field — about three-quarters. If you can picture a field with one end zone and a few yards shaved off, you are picturing an acre. For the full breakdown of acre dimensions, see how big is an acre.
Sports fields in acres
| Field | Dimensions | Square feet | Acres |
|---|---|---|---|
| Football field (incl. end zones) | 360 × 160 ft | 57,600 | 1.32 |
| Football playing field only | 300 × 160 ft | 48,000 | 1.10 |
| Soccer pitch (FIFA standard) | 105 × 68 m | 76,854 | 1.76 |
| Baseball field (fair territory, ~400-ft fence) | quarter-circle approx. | 125,664 | 2.88 |
| Ice hockey rink (NHL) | 200 × 85 ft | 17,000 | 0.39 |
| Basketball court (NBA) | 94 × 50 ft | 4,700 | 0.11 |
| Tennis court (doubles) | 78 × 36 ft | 2,808 | 0.06 |
Soccer pitches vary: FIFA permits 100–110 m by 64–75 m for international play, so real pitches range from roughly 1.6 to 2.2 acres. Baseball varies even more with fence distance — the figure above approximates fair territory as a quarter circle to a 400-ft center-field fence.

Frequently asked questions
- How many football fields are in an acre?
- About 0.76 of a football field fits in one acre — in other words, an acre covers roughly three-quarters of a field including the end zones (43,560 ÷ 57,600 = 0.76). Flipped the other way, one full field is 1.32 acres. Both directions are worth remembering, because land listings quote acres while most people picture fields.
- Is a football field bigger than an acre?
- Yes. A full football field is 1.32 acres including both end zones, and even the playing field alone — goal line to goal line — is 1.1 acres. So any field you have stood on is noticeably larger than one acre.
- How many acres is a soccer field?
- A FIFA-standard 105 × 68 m pitch is 1.76 acres, and the permitted range for international matches works out to roughly 1.6 to 2.2 acres. That makes a soccer pitch a bit larger than an American football field. The sports-field table on this page compares baseball, hockey, basketball and tennis the same way.
- How many football fields is 10 acres?
- Ten acres is about 7.6 football fields including end zones (10 × 43,560 ÷ 57,600). If you want to see that much land in one view, our 10-acres page overlays a 10-acre square on satellite imagery of any address.
