how many quarters are in basket ball

four quarters

A basketball game consists of four quarters. Whether it's FIBA (Fédération Internationale de Basketball) or NBA (National Basketball Association), an official basketball game is divided into four quarters, each with a different amount of time and breaks.

In FIBA rules, each quarter is 10 minutes long and the full game is 40 minutes long. There is a 2-minute break between quarters 1 and 2, and between quarters 3 and 4, while there is a 15-minute intermission between quarters 2 and 3. If the score is still tied at the end of the 4th quarter, overtime is required to determine the winner, with each overtime period lasting 5 minutes.

In NBA rules, each quarter is 12 minutes long and the full game is 48 minutes long. There are 130-second breaks between the 1st and 2nd quarters and between the 3rd and 4th quarters, and a 15-minute halftime break.

In addition, there are some other time rules for basketball games. For example, there is a 15-minute halftime break and two-minute breaks between the 1st and 2nd quarters and between the 3rd and 4th quarters. These details differ in the NBA and FIBA rules, but the overall structure is a four-quarter game.
