A footy game, referring to Australian Football League (AFL) matches, generally lasts about 2 hours in total. The game consists of four quarters, each 20 minutes of playing time, but with stoppages and breaks factored in, each quarter typically lasts around 25 to 30 minutes. There are also breaks between quarters and a 20-minute halftime break, making the entire game duration close to 2 hours from start to finish.
If "footy" is referring to soccer/football, a standard game lasts 90 minutes of playing time, split into two 45-minute halves, plus about 15 minutes for halftime and additional stoppage time for injuries and other delays, usually totaling around 105 minutes or roughly 1 hour 45 minutes. In knockout competitions, extra time and penalties can extend the total duration further.
Summary:
Sport| Duration
---|---
AFL footy| About 2 hours (4 x 20 min quarters + stoppages + breaks)
Soccer/football| About 105 minutes (90 min + halftime + stoppage time)
This should clarify how long a footy game goes for depending on the type of footy meant.
