A professional women’s soccer game is scheduled to last 90 minutes of regulation time, split into two 45‑minute halves with a 15‑minute halftime break , just like men’s soccer under standard FIFA/IFAB rules. In practice, most matches run a bit longer—often about 100–105 minutes of wall‑clock time —because the referee adds stoppage time for injuries, substitutions, and other delays.

Regulation time basics

  • Two halves: 45 minutes each, totaling 90 minutes on the clock.
  • Halftime break: 15 minutes between halves.
  • The clock keeps running even when play stops, so the ref tacks extra moments onto each half.

When games go longer

  • Knockout matches that end in a tie after 90 minutes move to extra time : two 15‑minute halves (30 minutes total), pushing the game to at least 120 minutes of play.
  • If it’s still tied after extra time, a penalty shootout decides the winner, which can extend the overall match‑day length further but doesn’t count as official “game time.”
