A touchdown is scored in American football when a player carries the ball into the opposing team's end zone or catches the ball there. A touchdown is worth six points. Following a touchdown, the scoring team has the opportunity to attempt an extra point (worth one point) or a two-point conversion (worth two points) by advancing the ball into the end zone again from the two-yard line.
