The short version: in the soccer field rental price lists we checked, a 5v5 field at an indoor soccer facility costs about $75 to $150 for an hour and $112.50 to $225 for 90 minutes, depending on the city and the time. Split ten ways, that’s $7.50 to $15 per player for an hour, $11.25 to $22.50 for 90 minutes. Off-peak is often 20 to 30% cheaper, and sometimes half price. Park fields cost much less with a permit, and open park fields are free but can’t be reserved. And book the field before you invite players, never after.
We’re talking about renting by the hour here, not building a field.
Indoor soccer field rental: how much for a 5v5 field?
Here are prices published by facilities and parks departments in several cities (rate cards checked in September 2026, confirm before booking). Most list an hourly rate and charge for the time you book: the 90-minute figure is that hourly rate × 1.5.
| Facility | City | Off-peak (1 hr / 90 min) | Peak (1 hr / 90 min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revolution Soccer Complex, 5v5 field | Houston, TX | $80 / $120 (weekdays 10am-6pm); $40 / $60 (weekends 9am-4pm) | $110 / $165 (weeknights 6pm-midnight) |
| uScore Soccer, 5v5 indoor turf | Spring, TX (Houston area) | $120 / $180 at all times, plus tax | |
| City Futsal, turf | Dallas, TX | $110 / $165 (Monday to Thursday) | $150 / $225 (Friday to Sunday) |
| Soccer Dome, 5v5 field (April to October) | Jessup, MD (Baltimore-DC area) | $75 / $112.50 (weekdays before 5pm) | $95 / $142.50 (weeknights after 5pm and weekends) |
| Arena Sports, small field | Seattle area, WA | $75 per 50-minute slot, plus tax (two slots: $150 for 100 min) | |
| LA County Parks, synthetic soccer field (permit) | Los Angeles County, CA | $70 / $105, plus $31 an hour for lights | |
| NYC Parks, full synthetic field (adult permit) | New York City | $41 / $61.50, plus $15 an hour for lights | |
| Open public park field | anywhere | Free, first come, first served |
The ballpark: split ten ways, an hour of indoor 5v5 costs somewhere between a burrito and a movie ticket per person. Prices go up at night, on weekends and in winter, and they’re lower on weekday afternoons.
1 hour or 90 minutes?
- 1 hour: the standard booking at indoor facilities. Intense, especially with no subs.
- 90 minutes: lots of groups prefer it, to catch their breath, rotate subs and make the drive worth it. It costs 50% more, but per minute of play it’s the same price. Not every facility offers it at every time, and some sell fixed slots (Arena Sports rents in 50-minute blocks): book two back-to-back slots, or ask.
If there are 12 or more of you, 90 minutes works better: everyone plays enough, and the cost per person stays reasonable ($165 split 12 ways is $13.75 each).
Where can you rent a soccer field?
Indoor soccer and futsal facilities (Sofive, Socceroof, Arena Sports and plenty of independents)
- Online booking, indoor or outdoor turf, and often gear included: Socceroof, for example, provides goals, balls and bibs.
- The easiest option, and the most expensive.
Your city or county parks department
- Grass or synthetic fields by permit, cheap by the hour (see NYC Parks and LA County Parks above).
- But permits mean paperwork and sometimes extra fees (the City of Los Angeles adds a $25 application fee for synthetic field permits), and leagues and youth programs often get the best slots. Tip: if your company or school has a sports club, book through it.
Open fields in public parks
- Free, no booking.
- First come, first served, and there’s often a game already going. Perfect for a spontaneous kickaround, risky for a 10-player game.
How much to rent a 7v7 or 11v11 field, or a stadium?
Big fields mostly come through parks departments, for much less than an indoor facility, but with extras. NYC Parks charges adult groups $41 an hour for a full synthetic field ($61.50 for 90 min) and $24 an hour for a natural grass field ($36 for 90 min), plus $15 an hour for lights. LA County Parks charges individuals $70 an hour for a synthetic soccer field ($105 for 90 min) and $50 for natural grass ($75 for 90 min), plus $31 an hour for lights.
On the private side, a 7v7 field at Revolution Soccer Complex in Houston costs $100 to $140 an hour on weekdays ($150 to $210 for 90 min), and a large indoor field at Soccer Dome in Maryland $140 to $165 an hour from April to October ($210 to $247.50 for 90 min), and $150 to $220 in winter.
A real stadium with stands isn’t recreational anymore: that gets worked out case by case with the school district, college or club that runs it.
Which time slot should you pick?
Weeknights between 7 and 9pm is the slot everyone wants, so it’s the most expensive and the first to go. To pay less:
- Play on weekday afternoons: off-peak everywhere. $80 instead of $110 at Revolution Soccer Complex, $75 instead of $95 at Soccer Dome.
- Look at weekend mornings: Revolution Soccer Complex charges $40 an hour on Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm. But weekends are peak time elsewhere (Friday to Sunday at City Futsal, all weekend at Soccer Dome).
- Watch out for winter indoors: at Soccer Dome, the 5v5 field goes up to $90 before 5pm and $120 in the evening from November to March.
Discounts worth knowing
- Regulars: Revolution Soccer Complex takes $10 off per week when you book the same day, time and field for 10 weeks.
- Longer rentals: Socceroof says the longer you rent, the bigger the discount.
- Off-peak hours: see above, often 20 to 30% cheaper, and up to half price on some weekend mornings.
- Students: none of the rate cards we checked listed a student rate, but it’s worth asking.
What’s included, and what they’ll ask of you
Before you pay, check:
- the player limit: uScore caps its 5v5 field at 20 participants;
- what’s provided: balls, pinnies, sometimes goals of different sizes;
- the paperwork: at uScore, the renter must be 18 or older with ID, and every player needs a signed waiver in their account;
- payment and deposit: at uScore, you pay in full online, or leave a 50% non-refundable deposit by phone;
- tax: Arena Sports and uScore prices don’t include it;
- the cancellation policy: at Soccer Dome, cancel at least 24 hours ahead or pay the full price; at Socceroof, no refunds, but you can reschedule with 48 hours’ notice.
When should you book?
For a weeknight at an indoor facility, book one to two weeks ahead (Sofive opens bookings 14 days out), and even earlier for 90 minutes: two free back-to-back evening slots are harder to find. The 7 to 9pm slots go first.
The best option if you play every week: a fixed recurring slot. The field is yours every Tuesday, and you don’t have to think about it anymore.
Two habits before you pay:
- Book the field, then invite. The other way around, you get 10 confirmed players and no field.
- Read the cancellation policy. If the game falls through, do you know how late you can cancel without paying?
Splitting the bill without getting burned
The math is simple: $100 for an hour split ten ways is $10 each; $150 for 90 minutes split ten ways is $15. The problem is the organizer who pays for everything and spends three weeks chasing people.
- Collect before the game, with a Venmo, Zelle, Cash App or PayPal request sent with the recap.
- Divide by the number of spots, not the number of people who show up. Otherwise the players who come pay for the ones who bail.
- Set the rule from the start: drop out the day before and you pay your share, unless you find a replacement.
The field is booked? Now you need to fill it
For that, you need a number of spots, clear answers and a waitlist: it all works fine by hand, here’s the method.
If you’d rather hand it off, Footinho is a free, ad-free app for organizing soccer games with friends, on iPhone, Android or in a browser, run by a nonprofit association. It doesn’t book the field and doesn’t handle money. What it does is fill your slot: a limited number of spots, an invite shared in two taps to your WhatsApp group, an automatic reminder for people who haven’t answered, a waitlist for dropouts, and an alert the day before if you’re short.
