In sports, FT most commonly means Full Time , especially in soccer, where it marks the end of the match and the final score is official.

Common meanings

  • Soccer/football: Full Time, meaning the game is over.
  • Basketball scoreboards or general sports use: sometimes it can mean Final in context, but that is less standard than in soccer.
  • Other sports dictionaries: FT can also mean free throw in basketball or foot/feet in non-sports contexts, so the surrounding sport matters.

Example

If you see a score line like 2–1 FT, it means the match has ended and that score is final.
