how long is each quarter in afl

Each quarter in an AFL (Australian Football League) game is officially 20 minutes of playing time. However, due to "time on" (stoppages for injuries, scores, and other breaks), the actual duration of each quarter typically extends to about 25 to 30 minutes when including these stoppages. This makes a full AFL game with four quarters last roughly two to two and a half hours in total including breaks between quarters and halftime.
