May 2026 Update: due to the large number of tests undertaken and update requests received between March and May 2026, some site information is taking longer to update and may exceed the 31/05/2026 expiry date – we’ll extend those expiry dates for those we've received before issuing letters or further communication in June. Thank you for your patience. 

If you have an urgent request or query please contact - 3Gpitchregister@footballfoundation.org.uk and one of the team will be able to assist.

The 3G Pitch Register lists 3G pitches in England that meet the standards for FA-affiliated Football, Recreational Football and National League System or Women’s Football Pyramid competition specific football. 

Approved pitches

  • Are identified by the green tick and test type in the status column (the terms “FA” and “FIFA” simply refer to the type of testing the pitch has undertaken).
  • Approved pitches can be used for FA-affiliated football, whether they’re listed as FA or FIFA.
  • The new FA Recreational Standard has been specifically created to offer high-quality small-sided providers a route onto the Register, but is only suitable for 3v3 FA-affiliated football and recreational football.

Expired Pitches

  • Are identified by the red cross and status ‘Expired’ in the status column. Once the pitch is selected the date of expiry is shown.
  • Expired pitches cannot be used for FA-affiliated football, even if they are listed as FA or FIFA.

The FA 3G Pitch Register is administered by the Football Foundation on behalf of The FA.
