If you’re here, you might be asking the question above.
How many quarters are there in a football game, you ask?

So whether you’re wondering because you want a game to be over already, or you’re learning the rules as a first-time fan: There’s your answer!
What if the game is tied? Well, that’s a whole other thing with overtime, which is an extra period that could end with a tie.
But when we’re talking regulation? It’s four quarters.
