Unofficial records

Field goals attempted in preseason games are not counted in the NFL's official record books, as is standard for NFL policy on statistics and records. In a preseason NFL game between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks on August 29, 2002, Ola Kimrin kicked a 65-yard field goal, two yards longer than the NFL record that stood at that time. In another preseason NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders on August 17, 2024, Brandon Aubrey kicked a 66-yard field goal, matching the record length of the time. On August 9, 2025, in a Week 1 preseason game, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little kicked a 70-yard field goal against the Pittsburgh Steelers, making it the longest recorded field goal in an organized game. This came after the NFL approved the "K–ball rule" allowing kickers to bring their own broken-in footballs rather than having to break it in before the game.

Longest missed field goal attempts

The longest field goal attempt in an NFL game was 65 yards by Sam Baker of the Washington Redskins against the Baltimore Colts on December 23, 1956, and stood for nearly 20 years. On October 26, 1975, Jan Stenerud of the Kansas City Chiefs attempted a 67 yard field goal, and would stand as the longest record for four years. In the 1979 season, the record switched three times. Mark Moseley beat the previous record when he attempted a 70 yard field goal on September 2. It was then beat on October 28, when Joe Danelo attempted a 71 yard field goal. It was then re-taken back by Moseley on November 25, when he attempted a 74 yard field goal. This would stand as the longest field goal attempted until Sebastian Janikowski attempted a 76 yard field goal on September 28, 2008.

Longest missed field goal return records

Field goal returns are rare in the NFL, since an attempt with sufficient distance that misses the uprights will automatically be dead. Returns are possible when a field goal is short, but in that case returners will usually down the ball so as to scrimmage from the spot of the kick. Normally, a return will only be attempted when there is not enough time left in the half to run a play from scrimmage. Nevertheless, the following five field goals have been returned at least 107 yards for a touchdown in the 21st century. The record of 109 yards, set by Antonio Cromartie in 2007 and tied by Jamal Agnew in 2021, is the maximum number of yards that can be achieved on a scoring play:
