how long is a basket ball court

A standard basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. This is the standard size for FIBA (International Basketball Federation) and most international tournaments. the NBA (National Basketball Association) has a slightly different standard size of 28.65 meters in length and 15.24 meters in width.

Basketball court dimensions are designed to ensure fairness and fluidity of play, while providing enough room for players to move around. In addition to the basic dimensions, a basketball court includes important markings and areas such as the center circle, the three-point line, the free throw line, and the basket. The center circle is located in the center of the court and has a radius of 1.8 meters and is used to determine possession at the start of a game with a jump ball; the three-point line draws a semicircle outward from the center of the basket and is either 6.75 meters (FIBA) or 7.24 meters (NBA) from the center of the basket; and the free-throw line is located 5.8 meters from the inside edge of the end line and is 3.6 meters in length.

Understanding the standard dimensions of a basketball court and the function of each area will help to better accommodate the needs of games and practices in different settings.
