This paper aims to put constraints on the parameters of the Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM) model, when dark matter is described by a free real scalar field filling the whole Universe, plus a cosmological constant term. By using a compilation of 51 $H(z)$ data and 1048 Supernovae data from Panteon, a lower limit for the mass of the scalar field was obtained, $m geq 5.1times 10^{-34} $eV and $H_0=69.5^{+2.0}_{-2.1}text{ km s}^{-1}text{Mpc}^{-1}$. Also, the present dark matter density parameter was obtained as $Omega_phi = 0.230^{+0.033}_{-0.031}$ at $2sigma$ confidence level. The results are in good agreement to standard model of cosmology, showing that SFDM model is viable in describing the dark matter content of the universe.
