Overview
A football pitch in Nha Trang almost always means artificial turf for five or seven a side, hired by the hour, and booking works the same way at all twelve: ring, pick a slot, turn up. None of them publishes a price: it moves with the morning, the evening and the weekend, so the phone number is the most usable thing on this page, and it sits under each pitch's name at the foot. Eight of the twelve have one; for the other four you go to the gate and ask.
The real hours contradict the "open around the clock" that Maps shows for seven of them: nobody plays at midday. Artificial turf under Nha Trang sun runs hotter than the air, so the pitches only truly work two windows. Early morning before 08:00 and from 16:30 to 22:00 under floodlights. The 18:00–20:00 weekday slot is the one that fills; for that, ring a few days ahead rather than a few hours.
By location the twelve fall into four clusters and one loner. The Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai run holds three pitches on one street: 305 at 63/2, T-T Đa Quốc at 75, Mỹ Anh at 105, three house numbers a few hundred metres apart, and the closest cluster to the centre, walkable from the tourist quarter. The Vĩnh Hiệp pair in the west, Đập Nước and TCD Sport, sit about two hundred metres apart, 5–6 km out. The Mỹ Gia cluster in the south is now complete at three: Mỹ Gia, Mỹ Gia 2 and Mỹ Gia 3. The northern group is Sao Việt at 101 Mai Xuân Thưởng plus the two university grounds. On its own: Thanh Niên on Trần Phú.
Three things to know before ringing. First, four of them publish no phone number on Maps. Thanh Niên, Mỹ Anh, Mỹ Gia 3 and the Nha Trang University ground, so for those the surest route is to turn up and ask, or to ring the neighbouring pitch in the same cluster. Second, several double as youth football schools: both Sao Việt and Mỹ Anh show under-11 and under-13 squads training and competing, which means the late-afternoon slots are often taken by classes rather than casual hire. Third, Mỹ Gia and Mỹ Gia 2 share the number 0327 212 345. One call asks about both.
The two university grounds are the exception here, and the ones to ring if you want a full-size pitch rather than a mini one. Nha Trang University is a real stadium: a full-length surface, terraced stands on both sides, tournament banners and a camera operator working from behind the touchline, and for most of the week it belongs to organised matches. Thai Binh Duong University at 79 Mai Thị Dõng is smaller, tucked under the hills, with even green turf and floodlights for evening play. Both sit outside the central ring, so add 15–20 minutes on a motorbike.
One easy confusion: Sân Bóng Thanh Niên lists 100/12A Trần Phú, and because its pin lands in the beachfront park, following the pin gets you sand, kites and a funfair. The pitch is real: turf under a tensioned canopy, but do not look for it on the beach; follow the house number and ask nearby.
In the same family: badminton and pickleball for a smaller group; gyms and pools if you train alone; golf for a whole day outdoors; and the hill walks to get out of the city.
Some shops, with addresses
Sân bóng Đập Nước
Open map →Vinh Hiep, western Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa (Plus code 7538+FPP)
4.4★ Google · 29 reviewsVĩnh Hiệp, about 5 km west of the tourist quarter. Even turf, high netting, floodlight poles down the touchline. It sits beside TCD Sport, so if one is full ask the other. Maps lists no hours, so the number above is the only way to find a free slot.

Sân bóng đá nhân tạo Đại học Nha Trang
Open map →Nha Trang University campus, northern Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa (Plus code 7693+865)
4.3★ Google · 39 reviewsInside the campus on the northern hill. The largest of the twelve, and the only one with terraced stands down both touchlines. Maps files it as a stadium rather than a pitch, and rightly: tournament banners, an entrance arch, a camera operator working from behind the line, and the tin roof of the training hall next door. Maps lists neither a number nor hours, so playing here means going up to the campus and asking the sports department; this is not a one-phone-call pitch.

Sân Bóng Mỹ Gia
Open map →My Gia estate, southern Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa (Plus code 65R8+V65)
4.3★ Google · 195 reviewsThe Mỹ Gia estate in the south. The largest complex here, several pitches side by side on open ground, tall floodlights and mountains behind. Being large, it hosts amateur tournaments and is the easiest place to find room for a big group. Maps lists it as always open; the real windows are early morning and from 16:30.

Sân bóng mini Mỹ Gia 2
Open map →Street 21, My Gia estate, southern Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa (Plus code 65P9+F65)
Street 21 inside the Mỹ Gia estate, about 1.5 km east of Mỹ Gia itself. A second site under the same owner, and its number is exactly Mỹ Gia's, so one call asks about both. This page has no photograph of it, and it does not borrow the other pitch's. The address and number are enough to book. Maps lists it as always open, which is to say it lists nothing.
Sân bóng T-T Đa Quốc
Open map →75 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
4.2★ Google · 194 reviews75 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai. The most central pitch that publishes a number, walkable from the tourist quarter. Several pitches on one site, floodlit for evening play, and a tennis court in the same complex. Mỹ Anh is a few dozen metres away, which makes this the easiest cluster to work with: if one is full, ask next door.

Sân cỏ nhân tạo 305
Open map →63/2 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
2.9★ Google · 28 reviews63/2 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai. The third pitch on the same street as T-T Đa Quốc and Mỹ Anh, and the closest of the three to the centre. The plot is tight: one surface wedged between houses and an apartment block, high netting on nearly all four sides, a duty hut with a fan and a few red plastic chairs. The turf is visibly worn through the middle. Against that, the lights are strong enough for late play, and night matches here draw a crowd. It is the tightest plot of the twelve, so if you are fussy about a surface, ask before you book.

Sân bóng mini Sao Việt
Open map →101 Mai Xuan Thuong, northern Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
4.0★ Google · 62 reviews101 Mai Xuân Thưởng in Xuân Thượng: the only pitch on the northern run, handy if you are staying near Hòn Chồng or Đường Đệ. A green steel gate signed "BÓNG ĐÁ SAO VIỆT", turf inside with apartment blocks behind. It runs youth classes, so late afternoons are usually taken, ask about evening slots instead. The number here is a landline rather than a mobile.

Sân bóng đá Đại học Thái Bình Dương
Open map →79 Mai Thi Dong, northern Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
79 Mai Thị Dõng, under the ridge to the north-west. The furthest of the twelve from the centre, about twenty minutes on a motorbike, and the pleasantest to look at: even green turf with the mountains standing behind the goal. It is bigger than a mini pitch, floodlit for evening play, with a board of instructions on the wall of the office block. It hosts a lot of youth training, so late afternoons are likely taken. The number above is the one Maps publishes; ask about evening slots.

Sân cỏ nhân tạo TCD Sport
Open map →Vinh Hiep, western Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa (Plus code 7538+F27)
4.2★ Google · 12 reviewsVĩnh Hiệp, right beside Đập Nước. The two are about two hundred metres apart on the same stretch of fields west of the city. Turf, tall lights, nothing ornamental. Maps lists it as always open. This is the number to ring when Đập Nước is full, and the other way round; about 5 km from the centre.

Sân bóng mini Mỹ Gia 3
Open map →LK28-28 Street 6, My Gia estate, southern Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
4.5★ Google · 30 reviewsOpen 7:00 – 22:00LK28-28 Street 6 in the Mỹ Gia estate, open 07:00–22:00. The only one of the eight to publish real hours instead of "always open". It sits inside a new residential district, so the approach roads are wide and parking is easy. It hosts amateur tournaments, with an inflatable arch and a banner for a long-running local competition. Maps lists no phone number, so the surest route is to ask in person, or ring Mỹ Gia in the same estate.

Sân bóng Mỹ Anh
Open map →105 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
3.8★ Google · 41 reviews105 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, a few dozen metres from T-T Đa Quốc. The gate sign reads "SÂN BÓNG ĐÁ CỎ NHÂN TẠO MỸ ANH sport". A small pitch, partly covered, and for much of the week it belongs to a youth football school, including an under-11 tournament. Maps publishes no number; to book, ask at the gate or ring T-T Đa Quốc next door.

Sân Bóng Thanh Niên
Open map →100/12A Tran Phu, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
4.2★ Google · 187 reviews100/12A Trần Phú. The only pitch on the beachfront strip, and the easiest to look for in the wrong place: its pin falls inside the seafront park, so following the pin gets you sand, kites and a funfair rather than a pitch. The pitch exists, turf under a tensioned canopy, but it is set back rather than on the sand. Maps publishes no number and lists it as always open, which makes this one worth looking at in person before planning a game.

Addresses come from each shop's own Google Maps listing, and the Open map button opens that shop's pin rather than running a search. 18 shops on the site have no listing we could confirm, so they have no button: the address lookup returned a different business, and a button that points at the wrong place is worse than none. A Google score appears only when Maps carries both the score and the number of reviews — a bare average cannot be weighed, so this page leaves it out. Street-food stalls change hours and close without telling anyone; call ahead if you are travelling across town.

Frequently asked
What does a pitch cost an hour in Nha Trang?
None of the twelve publishes a rate, and it changes with the slot and the day. This page puts each pitch's number under its name. Ask the price and book in one call.
Which pitch is closest to the tourist quarter?
The three on Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai: 305 at 63/2, T-T Đa Quốc at 75 and Mỹ Anh at 105, all walkable from the central hotels. 305 and T-T Đa Quốc publish a number; Mỹ Anh does not.
Is there an eleven-a-side pitch?
Yes. The two university grounds. Nha Trang University is a full-length stadium with terraced stands on both sides and a steady run of tournaments; Thai Binh Duong University at 79 Mai Thị Dõng is smaller but still bigger than a mini pitch. The other ten on this page are five- and seven-a-side.
What time should we play?
Before eight in the morning or after 16:30, once the lights are on and the turf has cooled. At midday artificial turf in full sun runs hotter than the air, so the seven that Maps lists as always open still stand empty then.
