How long does a soccer game take?

Answer 1

Law 7 of the Laws of the Game governed by FIFA a soccer match is comprised of two 45 minute halves unless the two teams and the referee agree mutually on a different length.


A half time period of no longer than 15 minutes is given to both teams.


Referees have the option of extending time only at the end of the second half to make up for lost time due to:

• substitutions
• player injuries (assessment of and removal from field of play)
• wasting time
• any other reason at the referee's discretion

Answer 2

Soccer games are comprised of two 45 minute periods with the one halftime rest break.

A soccer game is divided into 2 45 minute halves equal a total regulation game of 90 minutes. In soccer, the clock runs continuously. At the end of every game a referee determines how much "extra time" is going to be added- which is usually between 2 and 4 minutes.

Answer 3

A soccer match is two 45 minute halves with a 5 minute interval between them. Time can be extended by the referee owing to injury, time-wasting by players or the like. There may also be extra periods, depending on the rules applied to the tournament or league under whose auspices the match is being played.

Younger age groups play with shorter halves, and in tournaments, games can be shortened to an interval set up by the tournament coordinators (to let more games be played within the window in which the tournament is being held).
