    According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 26.9 km sq (10.4 square miles). 25.5 km sq (9.8 mi sq) of it is land and 1.4 km sq (0.5 mi sq) of it (5.11%) is water. East Brookfield is bordered on the north by North Brookfield, MassachusettsNorth Brookfield, on the west by Brookfield, on the south by Sturbridge, MassachusettsSturbridge and Charlton, MassachusettsCharlton, and on the east by Spencer.

    Most community life in East Brookfield centers around Main Street (Massachusetts Route 9Route 9), particularly the stretch closest to Lake Lashaway, on the road from Spencer to North Brookfield. Within a block of this stretch are found all of the town's churches, its school and former schools, most of its retail businesses and its current and former municipal office buildings. The latter is on Depot Square, a triangular crossroads near the post office and Redmans Hall, the site of the Senior Center and some town meetings.

    West of the town center is the Quaboag River plains, known locally as "the Flats." The CSX Boston-to-Selkirk rail line runs parallel to Main Street through this section. Southwest of the town center are the Quaboag and Quacumquasit lakes (also known as North and South ponds). Bordering the ponds, in the geographic center of town, is a sparsely populated marshland. South of the marshes is sparsely populated woodland, formerly a village called Podunk -- today marked only by a small cemetery along Podunk Road near the Sturbridge town line -- and a hilly area called High Rocks.
