BADMINTON COURT DIMENSION FOR SINGLES AND DOUBLES
 The overall dimension of a badminton court is 20 feet by 44 feet. The lines along these measurements mark the
sidelines for doubles play and long service lines for singles play. The net line marks the middle of the court where the
net is placed, creating a 22 feet by 20 feet area on each side of the net.

 The net is 1.55 meters (5 ft. 1 inch) high at the edges and 8.524 meters (0 ft.) high in the center. The net posts are
placed over the doubles sidelines, even when singles is played. There is no mention in the Laws of Badminton of a
minimum height for the ceiling above the court.

 The badminton court is 13.4m long and 6.1m wide. For singles the court is marked 5.18m wide. The lines marking out
the court are easily distinguishable and coloured white or yellow. The lines are 40mm wide.

 A minimum height of 7.6m must be provided over the whole badminton court area. The 33 x 18m dimensions allow four
doubles play badminton courts with a central division net. County standard badminton requires a length of 34.8m and a
height of 9.1m.

 The length is limited to 44 feet or roughly 13.4 meters. Each one of the white or yellow lines, that mark the court
boundaries, should be precisely 40 mm in width. Therefore, the total play area of the court is 880 square feet Or 81.74
square meters. In singles competitions, the court dimensions are a bit altered.
