It is not possible to say how long “the game last night” was without knowing which specific game, league, or teams you’re asking about, because many different games took place last night and each has its own official duration and overtime rules.

Clarify which game

To give an accurate answer, it helps to know at least one of the following:

  • Sport or league (for example, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, Premier League, college football).
  • Teams or event name (for example, Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls, playoff bowl game, local high-school final).
  • Location or competition level (pro, college, or local).

Once that is clear, the duration can usually be pulled from:

  • Official box scores or game summaries.
  • League or tournament websites with start/end or total time logged.

Typical game lengths (for context)

If you meant a common pro event, these are the usual ranges:

  • Basketball (NBA/major pro): about 2 to 2.5 hours including breaks and possible overtime.
  • American football (NFL): about 3 to 3.5 hours, sometimes longer in prime time or with overtime.
  • Soccer (top leagues): around 1.75 to 2 hours including halftime and added time.
  • Baseball (MLB): often 2.5 to 3 hours, though some games are shorter or much longer with extra innings.

What you can do next

  • Check the game’s official recap or box score page for “duration” or timestamps for start and end.
  • Tell which game you mean (sport, teams, or league), and a more precise estimate or exact runtime can be given.
