Field Goal %FG%

FG% stands for field goal percentage in football. The share of a kicker’s field goal attempts that went through the uprights.

How FG% is calculated

FG% = FGM ÷ FGA × 100

Eddy Pineiro, 2025: 28 ÷ 29 × 100 = 96.6

Distance decides most of it: NFL kickers make over 90% of tries inside 40 yards and roughly seven in ten from 50 and beyond, so a kicker trusted with long attempts posts a lower percentage for it.

What counts as a good FG%?

Half of the 36 qualified NFL players in 2025 were at or below 86.1. Clearing 93.0 put a season in the top tenth of the league.
