An AFL game consists of four quarters, each having 20 minutes of playing time, totaling 80 minutes of game time. However, with stoppages ("time-on") such as injuries, goals, and throw-ins, each quarter usually extends to about 25 to 30 minutes. Including three breaks—two short quarter-time breaks of about six minutes each and a longer 20-minute half-time break—the total duration of an AFL game is typically around 2.5 to 3 hours from start to finish.
