Jersey Size Chart by League: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL & Soccer (Men, Women, Youth)
Updated September 20, 2026 · 8 min read
1. How jersey sizing works
Most US sports jerseys (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) are sized by chest circumference in inches and labelled S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL. Authentic and player-edition cuts are tailored to an athletic build and sit closer to the body, so they feel one size smaller than a replica of the same label. Soccer shirts are sized on a centimetre chest scale (XS–2XL) and follow a slimmer European fit.
Rule of thumb: measure your chest just under the arms, match it to the chart for your league, and if you are between two sizes or plan to layer a hoodie underneath, choose the larger size.

| L | 94–99 | 37–39 |

7. Men vs women vs youth fits
Women’s jerseys are shaped for a narrower waist and shorter torso; if a women’s cut isn’t listed, most fans wear the men’s size one down. Youth jerseys follow age-based sizing and are cut shorter and narrower:
| Youth size | Age | Chest (in) |
|---|---|---|
| YS (Youth S) | 6–8 | 26–28 |
| YM (Youth M) | 10–12 | 28–30 |
| YL (Youth L) | 14–16 | 30–33 |
| YXL (Youth XL) | 18–20 | 33–35 |
When a kids’ or women’s version is available (we carry both for several clubs and teams), start with that cut for the best fit.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know what size jersey to buy?
Measure your chest just under the arms and match it to the chart for your league above. If you are between two sizes, or plan to wear layers underneath, choose the larger size.
Do jerseys run true to size?
Replica and breakaway jerseys are generally true to size. Authentic and player-edition cuts are athletic and run slimmer, so they can feel one size small. Soccer shirts follow a slim European fit.
Should I size up for an authentic jersey?
Often, yes. Because authentic cuts are tailored to a player’s build, fans who want a relaxed look or plan to layer usually go one size up from their replica size.
Are women’s and youth jerseys sized differently?
Yes. Women’s jerseys are shaped narrower with a shorter torso; youth jerseys use age-based sizes (YS–YXL) and a shorter, narrower cut. Where a women’s or youth version exists, start there for the best fit.
