Latest Match Insights
One of the most common questions we get from fans is just how long a game actually lasts. Our post ‘How many minutes are in a soccer match?’ breaks it down in plain English: two 45‑minute halves, a 15‑minute halftime, plus any extra time if the score is level. It’s the quick reference you need when you’re planning the next snack run during a live broadcast.
Beyond the basics, we dive into what extra time means for tactics, why managers sometimes make late substitutions, and how penalty shoot‑outs can swing a season. All of that is packed into bite‑size paragraphs, so you can skim or deep‑read depending on how much time you have before the next kickoff.

Alright, my fellow football fanatics, let's tackle this one! So, a standard soccer match is like a pizza, divided into two halves of 45 minutes each. That's a total of 90 minutes of non-stop action! But wait, we can't forget about that precious halftime show where one can sneak a bathroom break, so add another 15 minutes to that. And if the game is tied, there's a possibility of extra time and penalty shootouts, making the suspense last even longer. So, get your snacks ready, it's going to be a long ride!
