An AFL (Australian Football League) quarter lasts for 20 minutes of actual playing time. However, with the clock stopped for stoppages such as injuries, goals, and other interruptions, the duration of a quarter typically extends to about 25 to 30 minutes in real time. This stoppage time is often referred to as "time-on." In total, including these stoppages, each quarter runs roughly around 30 minutes, making the whole game last about 2.5 to 3 hours with breaks included.
