Here’s a look at everything you need to know about the spectacle that is known as 'The Greatest Show on Turf':
How long does the NFL Championship game last?
The game typically lasts between three to four hours, including the analysis shows before and after the game, as well as the main event itself.
A regulation NFL game consists of four 15-minute quarters, although due to breaks in between plays and time outs, each quarter usually far exceeds 15 minutes.
After the game's first two quarters, there is also a 12-minute intermission. However, in NFL Championship games the break is longer to allow for the halftime show.
