How big is a football field?

I’m trying to understand the overall size of a football field, including both length and width. Does the total size include the end zones as well? Also, is the field size consistent across leagues like the NFL or does it vary?

A typical NFL football field measures 100 yards in length from one goal line to the other and is 53.3 yards wide. When you factor in the two end zones, the overall length stretches to 120 yards. In feet, that translates to roughly 360 feet long (including the end zones) and 160 feet wide.

A football field in the NFL stretches out to 100 yards in length and 53.3 yards in width. When you factor in the end zones, the overall length adds up to 120 yards, which is equivalent to 360 feet.

An NFL field is 100 yards long and about 53 yards wide, but once you add both end zones it comes out to 120 yards total, so roughly 360 feet long and 160 feet wide, and yeah that size is consistent across the league.

A football field is about 100 yards (91.44 meters) long between goal lines, with two 10-yard end zones, making total length 120 yards (109.7 meters). Width is 53.3 yards (48.8 meters).

A standard football field used in games by organizations like FIFA is about 100–110 meters long and 64–75 meters wide. Including end zones in American football, the field measures 120 yards long and 53.3 yards wide overall.

Football pitches are typically 100 - 110 meters long and 64 - 75 meters wide in international matches. The general size of most pitches used for international games is according to FIFA guidelines, 105 meters by 68 meters. That's about 344 x 223 feet in feet. The rules outlined above may be slightly different for various age groups, local rules and playing space in smaller youth or school football fields.
