Question: How many points is a touchdown worth in football?
Show answer
Six points.
In American football, a touchdown is worth six points. After a touchdown is scored, the team is given the opportunity to score additional points through an extra point attempt, which is worth one point if successful, or a two-point conversion attempt. If the team opts for an extra point attempt, they can kick the ball through the goal posts from a short distance. If they opt for a two-point conversion, they must run a play from scrimmage and get the ball into the end zone again. If successful, this is worth two points.
