how many numbers on a bingo card

A standard American (75-ball) bingo card has 25 squares arranged in a 5×5 grid, but only 24 numbers because the center square is a free space.

Quick Scoop

  • In classic 75-ball bingo (the one with B‑I‑N‑G‑O at the top), the card is 5 rows by 5 columns for a total of 25 spaces.
  • The middle space is usually marked “FREE,” so it doesn’t contain a number, leaving 24 actual numbers on the card.
  • Other bingo versions use different card sizes, for example:
    • 90-ball bingo: 15 numbers per ticket (3 rows by 9 columns with blanks).
* 80-ball bingo: 16 numbers on a 4×4 grid, no free space.
* 30-ball bingo: 9 numbers on a 3×3 grid, no free space.

TL;DR: If you’re asking “how many numbers on a bingo card” for the common B‑I‑N‑G‑O game, the answer is 24 numbers plus one free space.
