Clean Sheet Percentage Calculator
Calculate clean sheet percentage — clean sheets divided by matches played.
Informational only — not a substitute for official league statistics or professional judgment.
How it's calculated
Assumptions
- A clean sheet counts any match where the team conceded zero goals — this calculator doesn't distinguish full appearances from partial (substitute) appearances, so use whichever matches-played figure matches the comparison you're making.

Frequently asked questions
Does a clean sheet count if the goalkeeper was substituted mid-match?
The standard convention counts it as a team clean sheet if zero goals were conceded across the full match, regardless of substitutions. Some goalkeeper-specific breakdowns only credit a keeper with a clean sheet if they played the entire match — check which convention your source uses before comparing numbers.
Is clean sheet percentage a goalkeeper stat or a team stat?
Both — it's commonly used to evaluate goalkeepers, but how often a team concedes depends heavily on the defense in front of them too. It's most informative when comparing players within similar defensive systems rather than across very different teams.
What's a good clean sheet percentage?
Top-flight title-contending defenses often clear 40–50%+ over a season, while league-average sits closer to 25–30% — it varies a lot by league quality, season, and playing style.
Does this include cup or exhibition matches?
This calculator simply divides whatever clean sheets and matches-played totals you enter, so it's only as scoped as your inputs — be consistent about which competitions you include so the percentage stays comparable.
