Hello guys, I am wondering what would be the best way to go about this. I want to project any texture on my grass field like the NFL fields. What’s the best way to go about it?

You could use decals, but that wouldn’t be very efficient.

A more complex but quite efficient way would be to create a “tile-map” type system in your material, have a texture where each grey-scale pixel represents a tile (0=none) that you mix in with your grass texture. The tiles could be Lerp’d in with the grass with the alpha channel of the tile. You would feed a UV that’s been multiplied by a small number to make it the correct size (you’d need to calculate that based on the size of your tiles).
