What size is the football field in Canadian football?

Question

How many downs does a team get to make a first down? Is it true there are no free catches in Canadian football, on punts or kickoffs? Are there any free kicks, such as in American football?

Answer 1

Length: 110 yards

Width: 65 yards

End zones: 20 yards

Goal posts are located on the goal lines, not at the back like in the NFL.

3 downs, or ten yards, to get a first down.

No free catch (fair catch) in CFL.  Punting team must concede 5 yards until the receiving team touches the ball.  Exception: on-side players (punter and anyone who was behind the punter) may encroach on the 5 yard space and field the ball.

Field goals: because the goal posts are on the goal lines, missed field goals that stay in play can be fielded and returned, and any on-side players can attempt to field the ball.

All kick-offs are on-side (free kick) but the ball must travel 10 yards before the kicking team can touch it.

Answer 2

you cant convert downs into first downs

no free catch in cfl

no free kicks

Answer 3

There are most definitely "free kicks" in the CFL.  Not only on kickoffs, but on punts as well, the kicker and/or any man behind the kicker when the ball is kicked is eligible to recover it.

Answer 4

110 yards long (not including the endzone)

3 downs

yes

free kicks? umm, I'm not sure what you are speaking of, but when you attempt a kick and miss it, you can get one point, and the same applies if your punt gets a touchback

Answer 5

field is 110 yards plus endzones (also endzones are longer than NFL as well)

3 downs

no fair catch in CFL.  There is another rule in effect.  The defensive team cannot come within 5 yards of the receiving team until they catch the ball.

Yes, after a touchdown there is a point after touchdown, same as nfl.
