Basketball courts
What a basketball court project involves, what drives the cost, and how to find contractors who build them.
What a basketball court costs
Reported by published industry sources, August 2026
- Outdoor court, installed
- $4 to $16 per square foot
- The rate to sanity-check any quote against. Surface system and site work decide where in it you land.
- Half court, about 30 by 30 feet
- $8,000 to $30,000
- Simple builds on good ground are reported from around $3,600. The band widens with tile surfaces, fencing and lighting.
- Full regulation court, 94 by 50 feet
- $60,000 to $100,000
- Roughly 4,700 square feet of surface, two goal systems, and a site large enough to take it.
A range is a planning tool rather than a quote. Site conditions, access and local labour move these numbers more than anything else on this page, and only a contractor who has seen your site can tell you what your own project costs.

What moves the number
Will it fit
The playing surface is only part of the answer. Run-off, access for equipment and where the water goes decide as much as the dimensions do.
