Quick Answer

  • Longest regular-season field goal: 68 yards – Cam Little (Jaguars), 2025.
  • Previous record: 66 yards – Justin Tucker (Ravens), 2021.
  • Longest Super Bowl field goal: 57 yards – Harrison Butker (Chiefs), Super Bowl LVIII.

The Record-Kicking Moment

Cam Little’s 68-yard field goal came at the end of the first half in a game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The kick not only broke Justin Tucker’s 66-yard record, but it also became the longest field goal officially recognized in NFL regular-season history.

This was a historic milestone because:

  • It was only the 15th attempt of at least 68 yards since 1960.
  • It extended the regular-season record by 2 yards beyond Tucker’s legendary 2021 kick.

Timeline of NFL Field Goal Records

Here’s how the record evolved over time:

63 yards| David Akers| San Francisco 49ers| 2012| Tied Dempsey’s record 5.
63 yards| Graham Gano| Carolina Panthers| 2018| Tied again 5.
63 yards| Brett Maher| Dallas Cowboys| 2019| Another tie 5.
64 yards| Matt Prater| Denver Broncos| 2013| First to break 63 45.

65 yards| Chase McLaughlin| Tampa Bay Buccaneers| 2025| Matched Aubrey; longest outdoor FG 5.
66 yards| Justin Tucker| Baltimore Ravens| 2021| Set new record, then broken in 2025 245.

Preseason vs. Official Records

There is also a 70-yard field goal in NFL history:

  • Kicked by Cam Little in a 2025 preseason game.
  • However, the NFL does not count preseason results in its official record books, so the 70-yard kick is not the official record.

Official NFL records only include regular-season and postseason games, which is why Cam Little’s 68-yard regular-season kick is the one that stands as “the farthest field goal in NFL history.”

Postseason and Super Bowl Context

  • Longest non-Super Bowl postseason field goal: 58 yards (Graham Gano, 2018; Pete Stoyanovich, 1991).
  • Longest Super Bowl field goal: 57 yards (Harrison Butker, 2024, Super Bowl LVIII).

These are shorter than the regular-season record but still dramatic in high- stakes games. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
