How long is a basketball game?
Basketball games are played a set amount of time. It's different for different leagues and levels of play:
High School - High school basketball games are made up of four 8-minute quarters or two 16-minute halves.
College - NCAA college basketball games consists of two 20 minute halves. This is the same for the WNBA and international games.
NBA - NBA games are made up of four 12-minute quarters.
The Shot Clock
In order to speed up the game and to prevent teams from stalling, a shot clock was added. This is how long you have to shoot the ball. If the ball changes possession or hits the rim of the basket, the shot clock starts over. The length of the shot clock is different for different basketball leagues:
NCAA College Men - 35 seconds
NCAA College Women - 30 seconds
NBA - 24 seconds
Not all states have a shot clock for high school. Where they do, it generally follows the NCAA rules.
