how long is the average soccer game?

The average professional soccer game lasts around 105 to 120 minutes. This includes the standard 90 minutes of play divided into two 45-minute halves, a 15-minute halftime break, and additional stoppage or injury time added by the referee to compensate for pauses in play. In knockout matches where a winner must be decided, extra time consisting of two 15-minute halves may be played, potentially extending the game to up to 120 minutes or more. If the score remains tied, the game can proceed to a penalty shootout, further extending the duration.
