The Basketball court diagram is a free tool that draws an NBA or FIBA basketball court with its measurements, so you can plan a drill, print a blank court or check a distance. It runs in your browser, needs no sign-up, and nothing you create is uploaded. You choose the court type, pick a full or half court, and then print the diagram or save it as a PDF or SVG file. A measurements table sits below the court, so you can check values such as the lane width and the three-point line without leaving the page.
Coaches use it to print practice sheets and to check line positions.
How to use the Basketball court diagram
- Open the page. The court appears at the top, and you can use it straight away.
- Set Court to NBA (measured in feet) or FIBA (measured in metres).
- Set Size to Half court or Full court.
- Turn on Show measurements to label the key lines and distances on the court.
- Choose a Look: Color or White.
- Read the measurements table to check each value for the court you selected.
- Click Download PDF for a portrait Letter page, Print to send the court straight to your printer, or SVG to save a copy you can open in other programs.
Because the tool runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded, the file is made on your own device. Download or print the diagram before you close the page if you want to keep a copy. Each time you change a control, the court updates on screen, so you can compare the NBA and FIBA layouts quickly.
To compare the two courts, switch Court between NBA and FIBA with measurements on; the table under the court changes at the same time. The page address keeps your choice of court and size, so a bookmark reopens the same view.
How big is a basketball court and what is its layout?
An NBA court measures 94 by 50 feet, and a FIBA court measures 28 by 15 metres. A half court is one end of the full court, divided at the halfway line, and it is the layout used for half-court drills and games.
Several markings sit inside that rectangle. The lane is 16 ft wide in the NBA and 4.90 m wide in FIBA (2.45 m each side of the centre). Under the basket, the NBA restricted-area arc is 4 ft from the middle of the rim, and FIBA’s no-charge semicircle has a 1.25 m radius. The free-throw line sits 15 ft from the backboard in the NBA and 5.80 m from the endline in FIBA. The free-throw circle and the centre circle both have a radius of 6 ft in the NBA and 1.80 m in FIBA. The NBA rim is 10 ft high and has an 18-inch inside diameter.

What is the difference between an NBA and a FIBA court?
The main difference is the unit and the size: the NBA uses feet and a 94 by 50 ft court, while FIBA uses metres and a 28 by 15 m court. Converted, the FIBA court is a little shorter and narrower than the NBA court.
The lines also differ. The NBA three-point line is farther from the basket than the FIBA line, and the NBA corner three-point line runs 3 ft from the sidelines, while FIBA uses 0.90 m. The NBA also measures the free-throw line from the backboard, while FIBA measures it from the endline, so the same distance does not mean the same spot on each court. Check the table on the tool before you mark a court for a specific league.
High school and youth courts vary in length. The tool draws only the NBA and FIBA layouts.
How do I mark the key on a half court?
On an NBA court the free-throw line is 19 ft from the baseline and the lane is 16 ft wide, so a 16 by 19 ft rectangle marks the key. The three-point line runs straight 3 ft in from each sideline, then curves 23 ft 9 in around the basket.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The diagram scales to the screen width, and Download PDF gives a full-size page for printing.
How far is the three-point line?
In the NBA, the three-point line is 23 ft 9 in from the middle of the basket, and it is 22 ft in the corners, where it runs 3 ft from the sidelines. In FIBA, the line is 6.75 m from the point under the basket, and it is 0.90 m from the sidelines in the corners.
