List of largest exoplanets
Below is a list of the largest exoplanets so far discovered, in terms of physical size, ordered by radius.
Caveats
This list of extrasolar objects may and will change over time because of inconsistency between journals, different methods used to examine these objects and the already extremely hard task of discovering exoplanets, or any other large objects for that matter. Then there is the fact that these objects might be brown dwarfs, sub-brown dwarfs, or not exist at all. Because of this, this list only cites the best measurements to date and is prone to change. Remember, these objects are not stars, and are quite small on a universal or even stellar scale.
List
The sizes are listed in units of Jupiter radii (71,492 km). All planets listed are larger than 1.7 times the size of the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter. Some planets that are smaller than 1.7 RJ have been included for the sake of comparison.

On 22 July 2020, astronomers announced images, for the first-time, of multiple extrasolar bodies orbiting a star, TYC 8998-760-1, nearly identical to the Sun, except for age. TYC 8998-760-1 is only 27 Ma old while the Sun is 4,500 Ma.[3][4][5] and its largest orbital body (TYC 8998-760-1 b) is 22 ± 3 MJ; likely making it a brown dwarf. | |

21.5 MJ; at the highest end of this range, it may be classified as a young brown dwarf. | |
DH Tauri b | 2.6±0.7- 2.7±0.8[9] 2.68[10] | 14.2 MJ; at its largest, it would be classified as a brown dwarf.[10] | |
ROXs 42Bb | 2.5[11] | This massive hot Jupiter (9+6 −3 MJ) varies from 0.9 RJ to 3 RJ.[11] | |
