The official NFL record for the longest field goal is 66 yards , set by Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens on September 26, 2021, against the Detroit Lions. This field goal is recognized as the longest successful field goal in an NFL regular-season game. There was a longer field goal of 70 yards made by Cam Little of the Jacksonville Jaguars during a 2025 preseason game, but preseason records are not officially recognized by the NFL, so this does not count toward the official record.
Key Details:
- Longest official NFL field goal: 66 yards by Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens, 2021
- Longest preseason field goal: 70 yards by Cam Little, Jacksonville Jaguars, 2025 (not official)
- The previous record before Tucker's 66 yards was 64 yards by Matt Prater in 2013.
This 66-yard record kick by Tucker notably hit the crossbar and bounced through the uprights, securing a dramatic victory for the Ravens.
