How many football players are there allowed on the field at once?

Answer 1

For American football: Twenty-two, or eleven per team.

In the Canadian Football League, there are 12 players on the field for offense and defense. There are 11 players in NFL Football.

High school teams may be 11 man or 9 man teams in the US.

Answer 2

In American football, each team is allowed 11 men on the field during a play, for a total of 22 players plus the officials.

If there are more than 11 players on the field for a play, the team with too many players may be assessed a 5-yard penalty and any play that occurred may be nullified (at the discretion of the opposing team). Having fewer than 11 players is not a penalty infraction.

Answer 3

11 a side at any one time. There is no penalty for having less than 11, however if you have more than 11 on the field, it is a 5 yard penalty. The penalty does not include an automatic first down if it is against the defense, so unless there were less than 5 yards to go at the time of the foul, the play results in the repeat of the previous down.

Answer 4

A competitive soccer game has 11 players in each team including goal keeper and 3 substitutes. However, in a friendly or training match the teams can agree as many substitutes as they like as long as there are no more that 11 players on each team at one time.
