In football, each game is broken into distinct sections, separated by an intermission called halftime. The segments of gameplay are broken down into quarters.
In the NFL, there are four quarters of football that are 15 minutes in length for a total of 60 minutes of game action, not including overtime. Other professional football leagues like the Canadian Football and the Arena Football League also utilize four 15-minute quarters.
In college football, four quarters are each 15 minutes long, not including overtime.
In high school football, there are four quarters; however, they are each 12 minutes in length.
