games played

Matches on record

Games played is a sports statistic tracking the total number of games in which a player or team has participated during a season or career.

It serves as a baseline for other statistics—comparing someone's scoring average across 82 games played versus 45 games played reveals durability as well as performance.

The stat appears in box scores, player profiles, and fantasy sports platforms.
