A football team has 11 players on the field at a time. This includes one goalkeeper and 10 outfield players, who are broadly divided into defenders, midfielders, and forwards. While only 11 players play on the field during a match, teams have additional players on their roster or bench for substitutions and strategic flexibility.
In American football (NFL), a team roster typically includes 53 players, but only 11 players from each team are on the field at once during the game.
