A professional game is generally 48 minutes of playing time broken down into 4-12 minute quarters. A college game is 40 minutes of playing time broken down into 2-20 minute halves. A high school game is 32 or 36 minutes of playing time depending on the state. It is broken down into either 2-16 minute halves, 2-18 minute halves or 4-8 minute quarters. Summer leagues and tournaments vary, usually having 2-20 minutes halves with the clock not stopping until the final two minutes or so of each half. Younger players may play 24 minutes games or even as low as 20 minute games.

Teams in the WNBA play four 10-minute quarters. Each overtime period, if needed, is 5 minutes. Games usually take about 2 hours to be completed.
