Sizes are without run-off, from England Football's FutureFit guidance and The FA, Know Your Format (February 2026). Leagues can set their own within these ranges, so check your league handbook. Still to come: the penalty area, the centre circle and the retreat line for each format, once checked against The FA's line-marking guidance.
