A standard netball game lasts 60 minutes of playing time, made up of four 15‑minute quarters.

Quick Scoop

  • Regulation netball: four quarters of 15 minutes each (total 60 minutes).
  • Short breaks between 1st–2nd and 3rd–4th quarters (about 3–4 minutes depending on competition).
  • Longer halftime break between 2nd and 3rd quarters (usually 5–12 minutes depending on league rules).
  • With all breaks included, you’re typically at the venue for around 75–90 minutes for one full game.
  • Social or mixed leagues sometimes use shorter quarters (for example 4 × 9 minutes) to fit more games into an evening.

So if you’re planning your schedule, assume about an hour of actual play and a bit extra for breaks, warm‑up, and change‑over.
