The highest altitude American football field goal scored is 3,449.64 m (11,317 ft 8 in) and was achieved by the New England Patriots and Adam Vinatieri at Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe, Switzerland, on 22 September 2026.

Legendary kicker Adam Vinatieri set this record with the Patriots - where he played 10 seasons in the NFL - while promoting the team's upcoming game against the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany.

The record-breaking kick was reminiscent of Vinatieri's iconic 45-yard field goal in heavy snow against the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 2001–02 NFL playoffs.
