How long is the Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl is divided into four equal quarters of 15 minutes apiece. That brings the game time to one hour.
However, like anything in the NFL, the answer to the question just isn't that simple.
The clock stops at various points in an NFL game, including when teams line up for first downs and when players take the ball out of bounds.
All of the stoppages add up, so you can expect one 15-minute quarter to last approximately 45 minutes in real time.
In total, one hour of action will take over three hours to complete, on average.
When will the Super Bowl end?
Any Brits braving the 'night shift' to stay up for the Super Bowl should buckle up, there's plenty of road left to run in this one.
The Super Bowl in 2023 should be over by 3am. Settle in, pour a coffee, you're going nowhere soon.
